Professional aerial data, inspection, and monitoring services across the North East and UK.
We support construction, infrastructure, energy, and commercial projects with accurate data capture, structured reporting, and safety-led operations.
Focused on clarity, compliance, and reliable outcomes.
We deliver specialised drone services for offshore platforms, wind farms, and renewable energy infrastructure — combining CAA-compliant aerial operations with deep understanding of marine environments, HSE protocols, and energy-sector workflows. Our solutions support inspection, monitoring, and documentation needs in some of the most challenging operational settings.
All missions are led by an offshore-qualified HSE advisor with extensive experience in oil & gas and renewables. We provide safe, efficient alternatives to rope access and vessel-based surveys — reducing downtime, minimising personnel exposure to risk, and delivering high-quality visual data for maintenance planning, compliance reporting, and asset integrity management.
Our Offshore & Renewable Energy service delivers safe, efficient aerial inspection and monitoring solutions for wind farms, oil and gas platforms, substations, and marine infrastructure — reducing reliance on rope access, vessel mobilisation, and personnel working at height in high-risk environments.
Led by an offshore-qualified HSE advisor with extensive energy-sector experience, we combine CAA-compliant drone operations with deep understanding of marine logistics, safety protocols, and asset integrity requirements. Every mission is planned to minimise operational disruption while maximising data quality and safety.
Our approach integrates: Offshore-certified pilots and equipment, HSE-driven risk assessments, corrosion and defect-focused visual analysis, thermal imaging for electrical and blade inspections, and reporting aligned with recognised energy-sector standards, including OGP and G+ guidance — delivering actionable insights, not just aerial photos.
From routine turbine blade checks to emergency flare stack assessments, our service supports maintenance planning, regulatory compliance, insurance documentation, and capital expenditure decisions across the energy sector.
Unlike general drone operators, our team includes an offshore HSE advisor who understands permit-to-work systems, marine safety, dropped object prevention, and energy-sector risk management — ensuring strong compliance and minimal operational impact.
Eliminate costly vessel charters, crane hires, or platform shutdowns. Inspections can often be completed during normal operations without interrupting production or requiring additional safety resources.
Remove personnel from height, confined spaces, or live electrical environments. Drone inspections significantly reduce exposure to high-risk activities while maintaining or improving data quality.
Deliverables follow recognised industry best practice, including G+ and OGP guidance, with defect classification, severity grading, location mapping, and recommendations suitable for maintenance work packs, regulatory submissions, and insurance claims.
We use saltwater-resistant drones, redundant systems, and offshore-trained crews capable of operating from vessels, helidecks, or coastal bases — with full contingency planning for harsh marine conditions.

Reporting: Geotagged defect maps, comparative analysis against previous surveys, volumetric change estimates where applicable, and environmental compliance notes.
Applications: Port authority asset management, environmental monitoring, decommissioning surveys, regulatory compliance, and insurance documentation.
Rapid deployment for post-storm damage assessment, fire incident review, or unplanned outages — often within 24 hours.
Response services:
Deployment model: Pre-approved emergency call-off agreements, 24/7 contact line, rapid mobilisation from regional hubs, full incident logging, and chain-of-custody documentation.
Deliverables: Preliminary findings within 4 hours, full report within 24–48 hours, and raw data archive for investigation teams.
Applications: Incident investigation, insurance claims, regulatory reporting, operational recovery planning, and stakeholder communication.
We’ll advise on the most effective approach for capturing and reporting the data you need.
From initial briefing through to final reporting, every inspection follows a structured methodology designed to deliver safe, compliant visual assessments with actionable defect identification.
