Safe, precise aerial surveys for dam bodies, spillways, reservoirs, and hydropower infrastructure — capturing structural data, sedimentation levels, and catchment mapping with zero risk to field teams.
Dam inspection traditionally requires dangerous rope access, scaffolding, or boat-based surveys — exposing engineers to significant safety risks. Our drone solution captures detailed visual and thermal data of dam faces, spillways, and intake structures with no personnel working at height or on water.
A comprehensive dam face inspection covering 500m of wall that takes a rope-access team 2–3 weeks can be completed by our drone in 1–2 days — with higher resolution imagery and zero safety incidents.
Close-range photogrammetric inspection of gravity, arch, and earthen dam faces — crack mapping, spalling, joint leakage, and surface deterioration analysis.
Water spread area mapping, delta formation tracking, and sedimentation analysis for reservoir capacity assessment and desilting planning.
High-resolution DEM of catchment areas for hydrological modelling, flood frequency analysis, and inflow estimation for hydropower projects.
Penstock, powerhouse, intake structures, and transmission line inspection for hydropower plants in remote and inaccessible terrain.
Thermal drone inspection detects seepage zones, wet patches, and piping initiation on dam faces and downstream slopes before they become critical.
Detailed inspection of spillway chutes, energy dissipators, stilling basins, and flood channels for erosion, cavitation damage, and joint failures.
We coordinate with dam operating authorities, obtain necessary NOCs, and review dam drawings, previous inspection reports, and known defect areas.
Detailed flight paths are planned for dam face, crest, downstream slope, and reservoir — with safe buffer zones from powerhouse and intake structures.
Simultaneous RGB and thermal capture at 2–5 cm GSD for the dam body, plus wide-area mapping of reservoir and catchment at appropriate resolutions.
Photogrammetric processing generates high-density 3D models. Defects are identified, classified, and mapped with GPS coordinates and dimensions.
Thermal imagery is analysed for seepage zones, wet patches, temperature anomalies, and potential piping zones on the dam body and abutments.
