In the past, inspecting cell towers was a time-consuming and dangerous process because it often involved heavy equipment, personnel climbing the structures, and potential risks of injuries. As such, companies faced high insurance costs and limited safety measures.
One example is AT&T, which initially adopted drone technology for inspections but encountered challenges due to inadequate training and experience. Precise drone operation, particularly near structures with integrated cameras, including thermal imaging, requires specialized skills and knowledge. Additionally, selecting the right drones that can withstand electromagnetic interference is crucial to prevent accidents.
We at ABROV utilize autonomous commercial drones to revolutionize cell tower inspections. This technology enables:
Here at ABROV, we have developed a highly effective approach to cell tower inspections. Here are the key advantages of using this service:
Our drones can get closer to any tower, providing a clearer view of all components. This allows for earlier detection of potential problems, such as corrosion, cracks, and loose connections.
Our drones can get closer to any tower, providing a clearer view of all components. This allows for earlier detection of potential problems, such as corrosion, cracks, and loose connections.
Traditional inspection methods often require workers to climb the tower, which can be dangerous. Our drone technology eliminates this risk since inspectors can now safely assess the tower from the ground.
Our drones can inspect towers from a safe distance which reduces the risk of injury to workers and the public.
Traditional inspection methods often require shutting down the tower, which can disrupt service. Our drones can inspect towers while they are still in operation to minimize downtime and disruption.
Our drones collect accurate and reliable data that can be used to identify and track potential problems. Additionally, live streaming and zoom/thermal/4k capabilities allow for real-time inspection and analysis.
Our team of experienced pilots is equipped with the latest drones, cameras, software, and tools for efficient and accurate inspections.
We offer a wide range of services including drone cell tower inspections, thermal imaging, LIDAR, surveying, and mapping.
At ABROV, we understand that no two cell towers are exactly alike. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of inspection services tailored to meet your specific needs. Whether you’re planning a new tower build, conducting routine maintenance, or investigating potential issues, we have the expertise and technology to deliver the results you need.
Our cell tower inspection types include:
Taking cell tower inspections to the next level, ABROV harnesses the power of advanced technologies like thermal imaging and LiDAR. These cutting-edge tools provide a deeper understanding of tower health and potential issues.
Thermal imaging acts like a digital X-ray, revealing hidden problems like overheating components and electrical faults before they become costly failures. This allows for preventive maintenance and timely repairs, minimizing downtime and maximizing tower performance.
LiDAR goes even further, creating precise 3D models of the tower structure. This enables accurate measurements, detailed analysis, and visualization of the tower’s condition, facilitating informed decision-making and resource allocation.
Furthermore, our geolocation tagging system ensures all data points are accurately linked to specific areas of the tower, making future reference and analysis seamless. This allows for tracking changes over time and identifying trends in tower health.
Finally, ABROV utilizes a proprietary data processing solution that instantly sources and identifies critical data points within the collected thermal and LiDAR data. This streamlines the analysis process, providing you with actionable insights quickly and efficiently.
