Drone Services are changing the industry and allowing us to accomplish so much more for our clients in coastal marine projects across the country.
With real cost savings, faster inspection times and no need to put human life at risk, underwater ROV inspections and aerial drone surveys are quickly becoming the preferred choice of industrial and commercial businesses in the Oil & Gas, Utilities and Infrastructure sectors.
We have been pushing the boundaries of drone inspection services since our foundation and as part of our mandate to constantly reinvest in our services and our equipment. Offering aerial surveys of coastal walls, ship hull inspection using thermal imaging, underwater powerline inspection….the list goes on. The range of services and depth of quality available at Balmore has positioned us into one of the leading difficult access inspection providers across Scotland and the North of England.
With out underwater ROV System, we can provide underwater survey services for:
- Hydro Dam & Tunnel Surveys
- 3D Photogrammetry Surveys
- Outfall Pipeline Inspection
- Cooling Water Inlet Inspection
- Offshore Structural Inspection
- Anchor Chain & Riser Inspection
- Electricity Supply Cable Inspection
- Coastal Wall Inspection (Aerial & Underwater)
How deep can the underwater drone go?
With a depth rating of 300m (1,250ft) and able to carry up to 14Kgs of payload, our Falcon 12119 ROV System is at the forefront of underwater drone inspection technology and allows us to conduct deep water inspection work.
The Falcon ROV is one of the most flexible ROV’s designed for the commercial inspection market and has been created to complete complex subsea survey operations. Thanks to its lightweight chassis frame design and versatile layout, the Falcon ROV can be used for difficult access inspection for offshore, inshore and confined spaces inspection (such as underwater tunnel inspection).
Our Offshore Access Vehicle
Whilst being able to provide such a level of ROV underwater inspection and survey, there is still the matter of getting to the inspection point. Whilst other ROV inspection teams rent boat access as and when they need it, at Balmore, our investment in our own services once again shines ahead of our competitors. We have our very own Access Craft. We are commercially endorsed for operating Power Driven Vessels up to 24 metres with up to 12 passengers and crew.
Our Boat Service can be used in up to Category 3 waters with a maximum 20 miles from Safe Haven zone that includes night time use AND without the ‘Fair Weather’ restriction.
