Aerial Property Inspections and Surveys - Drones and the Construction Industry

Despite the fact that drones have a huge amount to offer the construction industry, it’s an area that has been slow to develop. However, the use of UAVs when it comes to all sorts of building projects is finally beginning to increase and construction firms are realising the benefits of having a camera in the sky.
In the USA, where we tend to look for previews of what’s to come to us here across the pond, it’s predicted that a large percentage of drones will employed in the field of construction and this is a sizeable amount when you consider that the overall number of drones forecast to be in the country by 2021 is in excess of seven million.

Drones can offer benefits in

- Building surveys
- Inspection & monitoring
- Thermal imaging to assess insulation efficiency, thermal bridging and water ingress.
- Architectural design
- Monitoring safety and security
- Creation of marketing materials

An airbourne view of the site can offer a brand new perspective on project progress – easily shareable with all interested parties. Powerful cameras can obtain images and video of details to allow for assessment without the erection of costly scaffolding or hire of elevated platforms. Footage and images can also provide a clear record of each stage of construction to act as a blueprint for future maintenance teams. There are just so many ways that working with drones in a construction environment can offer new ways of working or most cost effective ways of achieving objectives.

The cost of maintaining a fleet of drones and qualified pilots in house can mean that it is more cost effective to outsource your drone requirements and there are local pilots who will be willing and able to assist you from right within our network.

Why Should Solar Panels be Professionally Maintained?

Why Should Solar Panels be Professionally Maintained? Over the years, panels can suffer faults that remain invisible to the naked eye but which impact their efficiency in terms of generating power. In serious situations these faults can even lead to a fire hazard. So it’s really important to keep up with the maintenance on your panels to keep your installation safe and also to make sure you are making the most of your investment. Obviously, the problem with regular and specialist inspection of your panels is that they are most likely to be in inaccessible areas of your home such as your roof. Having an actual human being up there to manually test each panel can be costly due to the health and safety precautions they have to take and potentially equipment they have to hire in order to gain access, plus you run the risk of damage to your roof structure during the inspection process. However, there is a simple and non-invasive solution that reduces inspection costs and means that if you d...

Solar Panel Faults - Common Types and Causes

Solar panels are a popular and efficient source of renewable energy that can last for decades. However, like any other technology, they are not immune to faults. Identifying and fixing faults in solar panels is essential to ensure their long-term functionality. In this article, we will explore the common types of solar panel faults, their causes, and how to prevent them. Solar Panel Faults: Common Types Hot Spots A hot spot is a concentrated area of high temperature on a solar panel, usually across a single cell. It occurs when a section of the panel fails to convert solar energy into electricity and instead absorbs it, causing heating. Hot spots can lead to panel damage, reduce efficiency, and in extreme cases, potentially start a fire. PID (Potential Induced Degradation) PID is an electrical phenomenon that causes a significant drop in the output power of a solar module panel. It occurs when a voltage difference develops between the solar cells and the grounded frame, leading to a le...

Mitigating Fire Hazards and the Importance of Solar Panel Maintenance

Mitigating Fire Hazards – Solar Panel Maintenance Solar panels have gained significant popularity as a renewable energy solution in recent years. With their ability to harness the sun’s energy and convert it into electricity, solar panels contribute to a greener and more sustainable future. However, it is crucial to understand that like any other technology, solar panels require proper maintenance to ensure optimal performance and, most importantly, to minimize the risk of fire hazards. In this blog post, we will explore the reasons why solar panels can catch fire if not adequately maintained. We will delve into the various factors that can contribute to fire incidents, emphasizing the significance of proactive maintenance and regular inspections to mitigate these risks effectively. Electrical Overload and Faulty Wiring One of the primary causes of solar panel fires is electrical overload resulting from faulty wiring. Over time, exposure to environmental factors such as heat, moisture,...
