What Is Drone Wind Turbine Inspection?
A drone wind turbine inspection is a specialised technique where drones, equipped with high-resolution cameras and sensors, are used to meticulously inspect wind turbines. This inspection process plays a pivotal role in the early detection of potential surface damage, wear and tear, and other issues that could affect a turbine’s performance and longevity.
Drone inspections enable the swift surveying of large areas, capturing detailed images of turbine surfaces for comprehensive analysis. The drones actively search for a variety of defects and issues including blade de-lamination, core defects, internal component failure, cracks, erosion, and debris accumulation on blades, tower damage, nacelle damage, and bolt damages.

Wind Farm Drone Inspection
Our Process of Using Drones to
Inspect Wind Turbines
Strategic Planning and Sensor Selection for Wind Turbine Inspections
Our expert team begins with a meticulous planning phase.
The selection of the appropriate drone and advanced sensors, such as high-resolution cameras, thermal cameras, or infrared sensors, is critical and depends on the unique requirements of the inspection task.
We also plot precise flight paths to ensure comprehensive coverage of each wind turbine.
Real-Time Data For Turbine Maintenance Aerial Surveys
Drones are then deployed to conduct the inspections.
Capable of inspecting multiple wind turbines in a day, these drones are equipped with sophisticated sensors that provide real-time data and can detect potential defects up to 15cm deep within the turbine structures.
Specific focus is placed on identifying key structural incidents such as blade delamination, core defects, internal component failure, cracks, erosion, and debris accumulation.
Data Analysis For UK’s Wind Turbine Inspections
The collected data is then analysed by our team of experts, assisted by artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to enhance the accuracy and reliability of the inspection data.
We identify and mitigate potential risks, provide actionable insights for preventive maintenance, and offer detailed reporting, complete with high-quality images and videos of the wind turbine components.
This vital information guides subsequent maintenance and repair activities, ensuring timely resolution of any identified issues.

Turbine Maintenance Aerial Surveys
Interior Wind Turbine Blade Confined Space Inspection
Harnessing the prowess of advanced confined space drones, we perform thorough interior inspections of wind turbine blades, a task made challenging by restricted spaces, limited visibility, and potential presence of harmful substances. Our drones, fitted with high-resolution cameras, confidently navigate these cramped spaces.
Deployed into turbine blades via small openings, the drones are expertly guided by remote control, capturing in-depth imagery of the blade’s internal structure. Each image is geotagged, enabling precise identification of damage or defect locations within the blade’s intricate interior.
Additionally, our drones are equipped with thermographic cameras to identify heat anomalies, which could indicate unseen issues. By accessing all surfaces of the blade, including technician-inaccessible areas, we ensure a comprehensive inspection. Reducing the need for technician entry into confined spaces.
Drone Use For Wind Turbines
Accelerating Wind Farm Inspections
We can perform inspections of whole wind farms in a single day. This comprehensive inspection service significantly surpasses the efficiency of traditional inspection methods, which are typically limited to inspecting one or two turbines per day.
Depending on the size and location of the turbines, as well as the specific inspection requirements, our drones can conduct between 3-4 inspections in a single day. A single drone can complete a detailed inspection of a wind turbine in less than an hour, a dramatic improvement on the 3-6 hours required for traditional methods.
For instance, our Elios 3 drone is particularly efficient, capable of inspecting all four sides of all three blades in just 18-25 minutes. This represents an exponential increase in inspection efficiency, allowing you to maximise the operational uptime of your wind farm. By enabling more frequent and comprehensive inspections, we ensure early detection of potential issues and contribute to the prolonged lifespan of your wind turbines.
