Flybotix customer: HYDRO Exploitation needed a thorough inspection in a hydroelectric power plant without human entry.
Issue: Doubts regarding the interior anticorrosion protection (paint) of the conduit, leading to potential refurbishment considerations. The objective was to assess the protection state to determine if future repairs were necessary to prevent corrosion, steel thinning, and potential conduit rupture.
ASIO drone successfully completed the inspection of the 1,200m conduit in just 16 minutes on a single flight, providing detailed insights into the condition of the anticorrosion protection. This efficient inspection facilitated informed decision-making regarding the refurbishment project.
How We Achieved This Result:
ASIO drone’s flight capabilities allowed for precise and slow-speed inspections, ensuring a thorough evaluation of the conduit’s condition. The 24 minutes of flight time promised by Flybotix were sufficient to inspect the conduit, demonstrating the drone’s reliability and efficiency.
Cost Savings during Inspection:
The use of ASIO drone eliminated the need for a week-long installation and inspection process, reducing labor costs and potential downtime. The efficient flight time significantly contributed to cost savings and enhanced productivity.
ASIO drone’s ability to efficiently and effectively inspect confined spaces, such as the Grande-Dixence Conduit, without requiring lengthy setup times makes it a standout solution. Its flight capabilities met the specific requirements for slow-speed, detailed inspections, ensuring precise data collection.
