ENERGY AND UTILITIES: POWER PLANT INSPECTION DRONES

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

Check gauges on pressurized systems

Inspect boilers and smokestacks

Patrol dry cask nuclear storage

Monitor refuse ponds

Keep your perimeter secure

“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.”

No other drone utility inspection solution performs like Skydio

See your equipment up close

Read gauges, inspect boilers and smokestacks, and monitor waste facilities without putting your employees at risk. Get new perspectives that traditional inspection methods just don’t capture. Skydio flies within arms-length of your hardest to reach equipment with sub-millimeter precision, bringing you better data to make better decisions.

Get an aerial perspective without a heavy training burden

Proficient in minutes and expert in just hours, your inspectors can get the views they need with far less risk. Skydio inspection drones capture the data for them. Our advanced AI-driven autonomous technology enables operators to avoid obstacles automatically. So anyone, no matter their skill level, can fly confidently in complex environments and you can quickly scale your drone power plant inspection program.
