Why Traditional Confined Space Inspections Fall Short
Lengthy Permit Approvals
Confined space permits and safety procedures often delay inspections and extend project timelines.
Limited Internal Visibility
Tight spaces, complex structures, and curved surfaces make it difficult to inspect every area thoroughly.
Costly Asset Downtime
Equipment and facilities must often be shut down before inspections can begin, impacting productivity.
Manual Data Collection
Traditional inspections rely on photos and handwritten notes, slowing analysis and maintenance planning.
Expensive Access Methods
Scaffolding, rope access, and specialized equipment significantly increase inspection costs.
Complex Compliance Requirements
Strict safety regulations require extensive planning, monitoring, and emergency response preparations.
Increased Safety Risks
Inspectors face hazardous environments, including toxic gases, confined spaces, and fall hazards.
No Continuous Asset History
Without consistent digital records, tracking asset condition and identifying deterioration over time becomes challenging.
Inspect in Hours. Not Days
Caged indoor drones deploy through a standard access hatch and are airborne within minutes. No entry permits to process, no scaffolding to erect, no rescue standby teams to mobilise. A typical tank or boiler inspection flight is completed within hours — reducing shutdown windows significantly and returning assets to service faster than any traditional method.
Keep Your People Out. Get Better Data In
The safest confined space inspection eliminates human entry entirely. FEDS indoor drones navigate GPS-denied environments with full collision tolerance, capturing 4K visual and thermal data across surfaces that rope access teams routinely miss. Onboard gas detection sensors continuously monitor the atmosphere throughout each flight — adding a layer of safety data that traditional entry methods simply don’t capture.
From Raw Data to Reports You Can Act On
Every Skyscan indoor inspection produces geo-located, 3D-mapped findings — not a folder of disconnected photos. Defects are annotated directly on a point cloud model of your asset, with measurements and location tags attached. Your engineering team receives a structured, digital inspection report faster than any scaffolding-based alternative can be mobilised.

Inspection Capabilities
SkyScan combines advanced UAV platforms, intelligent sensors, AI-powered analytics, and industry best practices to deliver accurate, reliable, and GIS-ready geospatial solutions for projects of every scale.
01
LiDAR Mapping & 3D Point Clouds
Integrated LiDAR sensors build centimetre-accurate, real-time 3D maps as the drone flies — no GPS required. The output is a navigable point cloud your team can use for dimensional analysis, volume measurement, and defect tracking across inspection cycles.
02
4K Visual & Thermal Imaging
4K cameras with integrated thermal sensors and high-output oblique lighting reveal corrosion, cracking, weld defects, and heat anomalies in complete darkness. Engineered specifically for low-visibility industrial environments where standard cameras fail.
03
GPS-Denied Navigation & Collision Tolerance
Visual-inertial odometry, radar, and LiDAR-based stabilisation allow confident navigation inside metal tanks, tunnels, and pipe arrays where GPS fails entirely. Collision-tolerant cage designs protect the drone — and the asset — in tight, complex environments.
