ENERGY AND UTILITIES: POWER PLANT INSPECTION

Keep your plant in peak performance

…with aerial inspections

Spot issues faster with more frequent inspections and maintain quality service

Monitor coal, natural gas, petroleum, and nuclear power plant equipment without bucket lifts, ropes, scaffolding, or dangerous walk-abouts. Use Skydio to safely survey critical infrastructure anywhere.

You can navigate in highly energized, obstacle rich environments, so you can access every gauge, switch, joint, and perimeter easily. Our ground-breaking AI-driven autonomous technology enables you to generate fully comprehensive inspection datasets while keeping inspectors on the ground, and out of harm’s way.

The safest way to conduct any inspection

“A 20-minute inspection by a battery-powered drone keeps our colleagues safe and saves time as they no longer need to rappel down the side of a structure.”
