Two culverts. One Elios 3. Zero confined-space entry. šŸš

Weā€™ve recently completed inspections of two 1980s-era culverts for Sir Robert McAlpine ā€” and it was good to get a couple of projects much closer to home for a change.

šŸ“ Billingham Bottoms ā€” concrete and masonry box culvert

Using the Flyability Elios 3, we captured detailed internal visual inspection data from both structures, providing a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional inspection methods.

The captured data will now be uploaded into Atlas for review, analysis and asset management.

Another great example of how confined-space drone technology can provide detailed inspection data while keeping people out of potentially hazardous environments.

Inspect remotely. Capture more. Keep people out of harmā€™s way.

Another successful confined space inspection and LiDAR survey completed at Burham WWTW, Rochester, Kent.

Using the Flyability Elios 3, we carried out a detailed internal inspection and LiDAR model capture of a clean water tank, assessing both the internal condition and structural integrity of the asset without the need for scaffolding or manned entry.

The survey delivered high resolution visual data alongside a detailed 3D point cloud model, allowing the client to accurately visualise the internal structure, identify defects, and support ongoing asset integrity and maintenance planning.

Remote inspection technology continues to provide safer, faster, and more cost effective access to critical infrastructure within the UK water industry.

Bank Holiday Weekend done right, outage support completed at Encyclis .

Over the course of the weekend, we deployed the Flyability Elios 3 to conduct internal inspections of the ACC ducting system within the Energy from Waste facility, navigating complex confined spaces and elevated vertical sections without the need for manned entry or traditional access methods.

The inspection focused on detailed close visual assessment of internal ducting condition, seams, structural components and areas of concern, delivering high resolution inspection data while supporting outage efficiency and reducing operational risk.

Another strong example of how confined space drone technology is helping Energy from Waste operators improve safety, minimise downtime and obtain critical asset integrity data during planned maintenance outages.

Another successful industrial drone inspection completed today at a UK biomass power station.

Using the Flyability Elios 3 confined space drone, we carried out a close visual inspection of the ducting leading into the Air Cooled Condenser, capturing high resolution inspection imagery within a complex, difficult access environment without the requirement for scaffolding, rope access, or confined space entry.

The inspection allowed the client to safely assess internal condition, identify areas of concern, and support maintenance planning while significantly reducing operational disruption and personnel exposure to risk.

Remote inspection technology continues to provide major advantages across the power generation sector, particularly within biomass and Energy from Waste facilities where access restrictions, working at height, and confined space hazards can make traditional inspection methods both costly and time consuming.

Another successful inspection campaign completed at Stanlow Refinery working alongside CTP Environmentļæ¼ carrying out aerial thermography inspections of multiple Air Cooled Condensers (ACCā€™s) located within the cracker process area.

Using drone mounted radiometric thermal imaging technology, we were able to safely inspect elevated heat exchange systems and associated pipework from standoff distances without the requirement for scaffolding, rope access, or intrusive working at height activities within a live operational environment.

The inspection focused on identifying thermal anomalies, potential process irregularities, blocked sections, heat loss, and areas of reduced cooling efficiency across the ACC infrastructure. Within petrochemical and refining environments, these systems play a critical role in maintaining process stability and thermal efficiency, particularly around high demand process units such as cracker systems.

Operating within a highly congested industrial environment required detailed planning, strict coordination with site operations, and careful airspace management due to the density of steelwork, pipe racks, process equipment, and live operations surrounding the inspection area.

By combining high resolution thermal imagery with aerial visual inspection data, the survey enabled rapid assessment of the assets while significantly reducing exposure to operational risk and minimising disruption to the plant.

A great example of how remote inspection technology and specialist industrial services can work together to improve safety, efficiency, and maintenance planning within complex petrochemical facilities.

Internal inspection of ACC air supply ducting recently completed within a biomass facility using the Flyability Elios 3 confined space drone.

The ducting formed part of the air supply system feeding the siteā€™s Air Cooled Condenser infrastructure and required internal visual assessment to review overall condition and identify any signs of deterioration, contamination, or airflow restriction.

Using the Elios 3 platform allowed us to safely navigate the internal ductwork and deliver high resolution visual inspection data without the need for confined space entry, scaffold access, or prolonged operational disruption.

Traditional inspection methods for assets such as these can involve significant planning, isolation procedures, access requirements, and increased safety exposure for personnel. Drone technology provides a far more efficient and safer alternative while still delivering detailed inspection intelligence to support maintenance planning and asset integrity programmes.

Applications such as this continue to demonstrate the growing value of confined space drone technology across the biomass, Energy from Waste, and wider power generation sectors.

Key benefits of the inspection included:

ā€¢ No confined space entry requiredā€¢ Rapid deployment and minimal downtimeā€¢ High resolution visual inspection dataā€¢ Safe access to restricted internal infrastructureā€¢ Improved maintenance planning and asset visibility
