Inspection

Identify damage faster and remedy it with drone inspections

Drone inspections provide RGB and thermal data that can be fed directly into your maintenance or asset management, without any system downtime.

Check cables, masts and systems – using RGB and thermal imaging

Detect damaged areas on lines, masts and systems early - without interrupting operations. We capture RGB and thermal images and provide data that flows directly into your maintenance system.

Drone inspecting a high-voltage power line

Visual and thermal inspection

Visual and thermal inspection of cables, masts and systems.

Documented and located

Anomalies documented and located - for maintenance and prioritization.

Recurring control service

As a recurring control service upon request.

Locate gas leaks from the air

Using special gas cameras, we quickly and safely locate the smallest leaks in gas or compressed air lines from the air.

Energy routes & highways via BVLOS

Electricity pylons, conductor cables and substations as well as oil and gas pipelines. The inspection enables predictive maintenance – without any shutdowns during network operation. We have the necessary BVLOS approval for flying over long distances and over motorways. In this way, we record route sections in one go, without blocking traffic.

This is about the condition of the infrastructure (inspection); The geometry of the route is provided by drone measurement (energy routes / BVLOS).

FAQ: Drone inspection for energy infrastructure

Does production have to be stopped for a drone inspection?

No. In 99% of cases, your production will continue without interruption. We inspect from a safe distance during ongoing operations.

Which energy infrastructure systems do you inspect?

Electricity pylons, conductor cables and substations as well as oil and gas pipelines. The inspection enables predictive maintenance – without any shutdowns during network operation.

Can your drone also find gas leaks on pipes?

Yes. We can equip our drones with special gas cameras to quickly and safely locate even the smallest leaks in gas or compressed air lines from the air.

Are you allowed to fly on motorways and routes over long distances?

Yes. We have the necessary BVLOS approval for flying over long distances and over motorways. In this way, we record route sections in one go, without blocking traffic.

How does a route flight over long distances work?

Out of sight. With our BVLOS operating license, we record many kilometers of cable in one operation - you receive geo-referenced RGB and thermal image data that can be used directly in your maintenance and asset management.

Does the thermal imaging camera detect faulty insulators and connections?

Yes. Thermal abnormalities on insulators, terminals and connections are visible in the thermal image - documented and located for your maintenance and prioritization.

Do lines have to be switched off for inspection?

No. We inspect from a safe distance during ongoing operation - without switching off or stopping the system.

Can substations and systems also be inspected?

Yes. In addition to routes, we inspect substations, masts and associated systems - visually and thermally, in one operation.

Safety First

Our operating authorisations

FlyHigh is approved for drone flights in Germany, Poland, Switzerland and Austria - including urban zones and sensitive airspaces. Other EU countries can be added within 2-4 weeks.

within populated areas

near critical infrastructure

over factory or construction site areas

below regular airspace

The approvals are based on standardized risk analyzes (PDRA / SORA) and require extensive security measures, which we fulfill as a certified provider.
