Offshore Inspection and Surveillance

Professional offshore inspection and routine surveillance for platforms, vessels and coastal assets that are difficult and hazardous to reach by boat or on foot.

The inspection

Eyes on the assets that are hardest to reach

Some structures are simply not practical to inspect on foot or by boat, whether that is a platform out at sea, a section of coastal infrastructure, or an asset that would otherwise need rope access at height over water. We fly it instead, capturing detailed visual and thermal imagery without putting a person in that position.

We support both scheduled routine surveillance and rapid response inspection after storms or incidents, so you always know the condition of the asset, not just its condition on the day someone last visited.

  • No personnel exposed to hazardous access situations
  • Scheduled surveillance or rapid response inspection
  • Detailed visual and thermal documentation
  • Clear reporting that flags areas of concern

How it works

From access plan to a flagged report

Click through the steps below to see how this service runs.

Agree the access plan

We agree the flight plan and safety procedures directly with the site operator before anything is flown.

Fly on schedule or on call

Inspections run to a routine surveillance schedule, or on demand after a storm or reported concern.

Capture the structure

Visual and thermal imagery is captured across the structure, above and where possible around the waterline.

Deliver the findings

You receive a report that flags areas of concern clearly, so maintenance teams know exactly where to look.
