Why choose infrastructure inspection drones?
Quickly assess infrastructure conditions using the Elios 3. Designed for contact inspections, this drone can navigate openings as small as 60x60 cm and maneuver around obstructions without fear of collisions. The Elios 3’s groundbreaking stabilization system enables pilots of all skill levels to become proficient with just one day of training.
Equipped with a close-up visual inspection payload, the Elios 3 can be swiftly deployed to capture 4K footage and 12-megapixel images, working to provide rapid insights in previously inaccessible areas.
When mounted with the Surveying payload, the Elios 3 and its partner FARO Connect software can create point clouds with centimeter-level accuracy that can be processed into 2D and 3D CAD-based digital twins & scan to BIM models facilitating efficient engineering decisions.

Get a full view of your infrastructures with less complexity & risk
Improved safety
Drones can be remotely operated from the ground, offering a safer alternative to traditional data collection methods.
Better data coverage
Drones can navigate at eight or in confined spaces to capture visual and LiDAR data from every angle, with precise positional accuracy.
Cost effectiveness
Drones can cover complex areas quickly, reducing the need for large inspection teams and expensive equipment.
Increased efficiency
Drones can complete inspections in less time than traditional methods, helping to reduce downtime and increase productivity.

Exploring applications for infrastructure inspection drones
-
Creating the digital twin of an entire plant
Read moreMap complex industrial spaces inaccessible by conventional methods. Use the Elios 3 LiDAR data to identify the best route for retrofitting pipe systems within the current plant infrastructure and generate accurate BIM models for the new facility.
-
Bridge inspection & mapping
Read moreCapture highly accurate point cloud & visual data from any section of a bridge. Within minutes, uncover cracks, leaks, delamination, erosion, and other common defects before they develop into major issues.
-
Roof inspection for commercial spaces
Read moreQuickly deploy an Elios 3 to inspect and map complex roof structures. Identify and precisely localize leaks and structural issues to address them before they escalate. Alternatively, create as-built models ahead of renovation or perform volume measurements prior to decommissioning.
-
Warehouse inspection and mapping
Read moreUsing the Elios 3 platform, a one-man team captured a large warehouse in just four days, cutting inspection time by weeks. With only one lane closed each day, work proceeded as normal, eliminating downtime during the essential inspection.
-
Mapping an entire bus station
Read moreCreate accurate scans of entire infrastructures with the Elios 3 Surveying drone. In this video, the Elios 3 was used to map a whole major city bus station, which helped digitalise the asset. The data was collected in just a few hours and using the drone allowed the inspectors to easily access high and inaccessible places of the station without the need for other tools.
