Drone Cell Tower Inspection, Survey, Thermal Imaging and LIDAR

The Problem with Traditional Cell Tower Inspections

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.

Introducing - ABROV Drones’ Cell Tower Inspections: A Safer, Faster, and More Efficient Approach

We at ABROV utilize autonomous commercial drones to revolutionize cell tower inspections. This technology enables:

The ABROV Advantage

Here at ABROV, we have developed a highly effective approach to cell tower inspections. Here are the key advantages of using this service:

01. Higher-resolution visual inspections than ground-based inspections

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.

02. Greatly reduce man hours and costs by automating inspections.

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.

03. Safely assess the condition and orientation of all components of cell towers

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.

04. Inspections are done from a safe distance.

Our drones can inspect towers from a safe distance which reduces the risk of injury to workers and the public.

05. Towers remain functional during inspection.

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.

06. Increase efficiency due to data accuracy and reliability, live streaming, and zoom/thermal/4k capabilities.

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.

07. We have expert drone pilots

Our team of experienced pilots is equipped with the latest drones, cameras, software, and tools for efficient and accurate inspections.

08. We offer comprehensive services

We offer a wide range of services including drone cell tower inspections, thermal imaging, LIDAR, surveying, and mapping.

ABROV Tower Inspection Types

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:

Thermal Imaging and LiDAR for Enhanced Inspections

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.
