Find and fix air leaks to preserve your building's performance, energy efficiency and air quality.

Water leaks & damage

Find and eliminate moisture intrusion to prevent rot and health problems associated with mould and mildew.

Missing insulation

Reduce your energy costs and do your bit for the environment by finding and eliminating gaps in insulation.

Delamination

Find delamination in concrete structures with little to no downtime. Quick, reliable and cost-effective.

Energy loss

Identify and resolve potential problems with electrical distribution equipment before they lead to failure.

Cut/fill Discrepancies

Monitor earthwork changes over time for a fast and cost-effective way to avoid any discrepancies.

Structure Status

Get instant and actionable data on the current status of your asset's fixtures, fittings and structure.

Thermal bridges

Cold bridges can be responsible for up to 30% of a building's heat loss. With drone technology, they're easy to find.

Solar panel defects

Keep your photovoltaic array running safely and efficiently by finding and fixing issues in your solar cells.

Erosion/corrosion issues

Easily locate and isolate any areas of your asset that have been affected by erosion or corrosion.

Gas leaks

No downtime, no disruption

No scaffolding, no rope access, no shutdowns. Assets inspected while in service — most jobs completed in hours, not days.

Bespoke approach for every job

We design the right method for your specific asset. If a simpler solution would work better, we'll tell you — even if it doesn't involve drones.

Actionable reports, ready to use

Professional condition reports with GPS-tagged imagery and engineer-grade assessment. Formatted for your insurer, regulator, or maintenance team — no interpretation required.
