WHAT WE DO BEST
POWER LINES INSPECTION
Furthermore, we integrate critical distance inspection with LiDAR, a key service for preventive maintenance and electrical grid inspection, combining high precision, safety, and operational efficiency.
3D DIGITIZATION
At AEROMEDIA, we work with NavVis technology, an advanced 3D mobile scanning system that combines LiDAR sensors and panoramic cameras to deliver precise and rapid 3D digitization. This system generates digital twins and navigable 3D models, ideal for managing, planning, and maintaining environments.
Digitization with NavVis allows for the creation of realistic 3D models without interrupting production, easily integrating with engineering, asset management, and preventive maintenance software.
Our service is geared towards industrial plants, factories, refineries, logistics warehouses, and power plants, where precision and safety are paramount. Large companies such as Repsol, Vertex, and Iberdrola already rely on AEROMEDIA for the digitization of their industrial facilities.
LiDAR TOPOGRAPHY
Since 2017, AEROMEDIA has been a pioneer in the use of LiDAR technology integrated into drones. Thanks to this experience, we have developed projects in sectors such as renewable energy, infrastructure, and transportation, offering precise and safe solutions. The LiDAR system, combined with GPS and inertial instruments, allows us to obtain digital terrain and surface models with centimeter-level accuracy, ideal for engineering and advanced planning.
Service advantages:
- Reduced costs compared to traditional methods.
- Shorter delivery times.
- High-density point clouds with a high level of detail.
- Centimeter-level accuracy (<5 cm).
- Optimized maintenance operations.
- Reduced risks in the field.
- Greater safety in the execution of surveying work.
WIND FARM INSPECTION
At AEROMEDIA, we specialize in wind turbine inspections using drones. We utilize LiDAR technology, high-precision sensors, and state-of-the-art RPAS systems to ensure the early detection of cracks and fissures in wind turbine blades.
Our innovative GENERADRON system, developed by our R&D department and recognized for its technological excellence, allows for automated wind turbine inspections without shutting down the turbine, significantly reducing time and costs compared to traditional methods.
Through autonomous navigation and high-resolution cameras, the drones precisely execute programmed routes, ensuring repeatability, safety, and reliability on every flight.
With AEROMEDIA and GENERADRON, wind farm inspections reach a new level of efficiency, performance, and data standardization, optimizing predictive maintenance and extending the lifespan of the installations.
PHOTOVOLTAIC FIELDS INSPECTION
At AEROMEDIA, we help you optimize the performance of your photovoltaic (PV) solar plant using thermographic drone inspections and advanced image analysis. We detect defects invisible to traditional monitoring, such as snail trails, connection corrosion, and yellowing, which affect the efficiency of solar modules.
Our drones, equipped with high-resolution thermal imaging cameras, allow for fast, precise, and automated inspections, eliminating the need for on-site supervision. Thanks to the use of GPS waypoints, we guarantee repeatability and consistency in periodic inspections.
AEROMEDIA combines machine learning, advanced embedded systems, and a highly specialized team to offer professional aerial inspections of solar plants, ensuring maximum precision, reliability, and ongoing technical support.
We improve the efficiency and preventative maintenance of your photovoltaic installation.
BATHYMETRY
AEROMEDIA combines its high-precision LIDAR equipment with bathymetric sensors mounted on drones.
This allows for precise topographic mapping, both on land and in marine environments.
GROUND PENETRATING RADAR
Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is an advanced technology that allows for the detection of underground infrastructure without the need for excavation or ground preparation, significantly reducing time, deadlines, and costs.
It is possible to accurately identify power lines, pipes, conduits, and buried structures, offering a fast, safe, and non-destructive solution for various sectors:
- Civil works and engineering: locating buried utilities and conduits.
- Geotechnical engineering and construction: detecting voids, discontinuities, or structural defects.
- Archaeology: identifying remains and structures without invasive excavation.
- Infrastructure inspection: analyzing bridges, roads, dams, and buildings to detect corrosion or internal damage.
AEROMEDIA’s GPR is an essential tool for planning, risk prevention, and predictive maintenance in construction, engineering, and heritage projects, optimizing efficiency and safety in every operation.
BIRD SAVER PLACEMENT WITH DRONE
At AEROMEDIA, we have developed an innovative solution to prevent bird collisions with power lines, combining technology with environmental conservation. We use drones equipped to install reflectors on high- and low-voltage cables, significantly reducing the risk of bird accidents.
These anti-collision reflectors, by reflecting sunlight, generate visible flashes that alert birds to the presence of the cables, preventing collisions and contributing to the protection of biodiversity.
Drone installation allows us to work safely, quickly, and efficiently, even in hard-to-reach areas, without interrupting the power supply or putting technical personnel at risk.
With this technology, AEROMEDIA reinforces its commitment to sustainability, species conservation, and innovation in environmental solutions applied to the energy sector.
LPS INSPECTION AND THICKNESSES
At Aeromedia, we offer state-of-the-art technical inspections for lightning protection systems (LPS) and thickness measurements of materials in hard-to-reach structures. Our omnidirectional mobility equipment and high-precision sensors allow us to detect electrical faults, oxidation, deteriorated connections, and material wear, reducing risks and eliminating the need for work at heights.
Service Applications:
- Wind turbines: inspection of LPS on blades and towers
- Industrial tanks and silos: thickness measurement and structural control.
- Metal structures and bridges: detection of corrosion and weakening
- Energy and electrical installations: verification of lightning protection and electrical continuity
We provide accurate and reliable information that optimizes preventive maintenance, reduces costs, and ensures safety in every inspection.
CONFINED SPACE INSPECTION
We conduct inspections in confined and hard-to-reach spaces using drones equipped with high-resolution cameras, LiDAR technology, and gas detection sensors. This technology allows us to detect anomalies, assess the internal condition of tanks, silos, and pipelines, and plan maintenance safely and efficiently.
Our service offers fast, accurate results without risk to personnel, reducing costs and unnecessary downtime, and guaranteeing reliable information for more effective preventative maintenance.
