SkyMedia Productions is increasingly working with clients in the green energy sector, including solar farms and wind turbines. These installations are ideal candidates for drone inspections, given the numerous electrical and mechanical components that require regular monitoring.

Why Use Drones for Wind Turbine Inspections?

Using a drone for wind turbine inspections allows for quick identification of wear and tear or damage, helping to avoid costly downtime. One of the significant benefits for our clients is the enhanced safety—keeping inspection staff safely on the ground and reducing the risk of personal injury.

Comprehensive Aerial Surveys

Our drone technology provides an aerial perspective on your equipment’s current conditions and any present damage. Our fully trained, licensed, and insured pilots work closely with your technicians during the flight, enabling real-time adjustments such as zooming in or revisiting specific areas for further inspection. GPS and altitude data are recorded, allowing us to accurately pinpoint any issues. This detailed footage ensures your maintenance team knows exactly what repairs are needed before they even leave the ground.

High-Definition and Thermal Imaging

Within minutes of arriving on site, we can deliver clear images of your wind turbine’s condition. This includes HD video footage and photographs of blades, turbines, cables, ladders, bolts, paint, oil spills, and safety equipment. For a comprehensive inspection, we also offer infrared and thermal imaging, providing an additional layer of analysis.

Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness

What traditionally might have taken half a day to inspect manually can now be completed in minutes with our drone technology. Our team can quickly move on to the next inspection site, maximizing efficiency. Additionally, wind turbines do not need to be shut down during the inspection process, further reducing costs for our clients.

Emergency Damage Assessments

Beyond routine inspections, we assist clients in assessing damage following lightning or hail storms, enabling rapid identification and response.
