Professional drone inspection for industrial structures, infrastructure assets, energy facilities and large commercial estates. Thermal, RGB and LiDAR payloads. CAA GVC authorised operators with specialist CNI site access experience.
Traditional inspection methods are slow, expensive and often dangerous. Scaffolding, MEWP access and rope teams add cost and risk for every inspection cycle. Drone inspection delivers higher-resolution data at a fraction of the mobilisation cost and with zero risk to inspection personnel.
Every engagement follows a structured methodology that ensures accurate data, legally defensible outputs and actionable results.
Asset inventory and inspection scope agreed. Sensor payload selection matched to inspection objectives. RAMS documentation, insurance certificates and site access compliance prepared.
CAA GVC authorised pilots deploy with enterprise multi-sensor platform. RTK GNSS ground control established. Flight plan designed for 100% asset coverage at optimised sensor resolution.
Systematic inspection capture across all agreed asset elements. Thermal, RGB and LiDAR data collected simultaneously where required. All data georeferenced at capture.
ITC Level 2 thermographer and photogrammetric engineer analyse all datasets. Findings classified by type, severity and location. Prioritised inspection report delivered in open formats.
CAA GVC authorised. ITC Level 2 certified. ISO 18434-1 compliant. Every Canopy engagement is backed by the qualifications, methodology and insurance your procurement team requires.
Drone inspection eliminates the need to send personnel up structures for visual assessment. No scaffolding, no MEWP, no rope access for routine inspection cycles. All visual and thermal data captured remotely by the aircraft.
A single mobilisation captures thermal, high-resolution visual and LiDAR point cloud data simultaneously. Three inspection datasets from one site visit, processed and delivered as integrated outputs aligned to the same georeferenced coordinate system.
Canopy holds extensive experience operating at active industrial and CNI sites with complex contractor protocols, ATC coordination requirements and security clearance processes. RAMS documentation and insurance certificates provided for all sites.
The true value of drone inspection compounds over time. Baseline datasets from the first survey enable change detection on repeat visits — identifying structural deterioration, thermal anomaly development or asset condition change that would be invisible without a baseline to compare against.
All inspection outputs are delivered in open formats — GeoTIFF, LAS, OBJ, CSV — compatible with your existing asset management, GIS and BIM infrastructure. No proprietary platform dependency.
Operating across the UK with no geographic restriction. Priority deployment zone covers the Humber Estuary corridor including Immingham, Hull, Grimsby and the wider East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire industrial estate.
