Inspection

Terra Drone Arabia provides comprehensive aerial and underwater inspection services that drastically reduce downtime, improve safety, and deliver high-resolution actionable insights — all without scaffolding, shutdowns, or confined-space entry.

Existing Problems Our Customers Face

High-risk environments

Traditional inspection methods often require working at height, in confined spaces, or hazardous areas.

Operational downtime

Many inspections require partial or full shutdowns of operations, impacting productivity.

Inaccessibility

Vertical or internal assets such as tanks, chimneys, flare tips, and stacks are challenging to reach.

Data Limitations

Manual inspection methods can overlook micro-defects or fail to provide uniform, repeatable measurements.

High Inspection Costs

Expenses from scaffolding, rope access teams, shutdown coordination, and extended manpower increase overall inspection budgets.

Slow Turnaround for Critical Insights

Conventional methods often delay defect detection and reporting, slowing down decision-making for maintenance and repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, our drones are equipped for high-temperature, online inspection missions using optical zoom and thermal cameras.

Yes, in most cases. Our drones provide 360° coverage with high-resolution footage and structured documentation. For critical welds or UT readings, manual confirmation may be done post-drone flight.

A typical tank (20–30 m diameter) can be scanned in 1–2 hours, with full reporting within 3–5 business days.

No. We assess the zone classification and use suitable mitigation (e.g., inerting) or collaborate with clients on pre-entry procedures. Full ATEX versions are in testing stages globally.

Yes. Depending on access, we use ultrasonic thickness gauges or EMAT sensors via drone, crawler, or handheld systems.
