Energy

From Oil Platforms to Wind Farms. The energy sector in the UK covers everything from renewable energy like solar and wind to oil & gas, off-shore oil platforms, gas pipelines, power plants and electrical powerlines.

And through all these individual aspects of the energy sector, there is a constant demand and requirement for maintenance inspections and surveys.

With the advancement of aerial drones and underwater ROV inspection vehicles, we are helping to change the way that companies in the energy sector are carrying out visual inspection and surveys.

What energy sectors do we cover?

• Oil Platforms
• Flare Stacks
• Powerlines
• Hydro Electric Dams
• Wind Turbines
• Solar Panels

Aerial Drone Surveys

Aerial drone surveys are a vital part of the regular maintenance and inspection of key elements of the energy sector. Previous to the use of drone surveys, visual inspections were conducted by teams of rope access and ‘at height’ access crews and would require costly scaffolding set up and crucially, production downtime to conduct the surveys safely. This all adds up to high inspection costs.

Underwater Drone Inspection

While aerial inspections cover so much of the energy sector, there are some aspects that require underwater ROV inspection. From underwater powerlines and ship hull inspection to hydro electric dam water ducts. Where once these would require underwater scuba teams, this can all now be carried out by our underwater drone inspection vehicles.

And with out Access Boat, we can even provide drone inspections for far out oil platforms.
