Infrastructure & Tower Inspection

Bridges, dams, chimneys, wind turbines and telecom towers

Infrastructure & Tower Inspection

Close-range zoom imaging and photogrammetry to inspect hard-to-reach structures for cracks, corrosion and damage.

From 18,000 TRY per structure

Inspections that need rope access or cranes are costly and risky. With a drone the same job takes hours, with no staff working at height and no production stoppage.

Structures we inspect

  • Wind turbine blades and tower surfaces
  • Bridge piers, girders and joints
  • Dam bodies and spillways
  • Chimneys, silos and cooling towers
  • Telecom towers and power transmission pylons

Output

High-resolution photos are tagged on a 3D model of the structure. Crack width, corrosion area and coating loss are classified; each period is flown on the same route so changes can be compared over time.

Periodic maintenance programme

With annual or six-monthly inspection programmes your structure builds up a digital damage history. Reports serve as evidence for maintenance budgeting and insurance processes.

Scope of service

  • Close-range zoom imaging
  • Tagging on a 3D model
  • Periodic comparison
  • Inspection without production stoppage

Frequently asked questions

Which permits are required for commercial drone flights?
Depending on weight and operation type you need SHGM UAS registration, a pilot certificate, operator authorisation and liability insurance. Additional coordination applies in military restricted areas and urban zones. Kartalay handles the entire process; you only share the site information.
How accurate is the mapping?
With RTK/PPK and ground control points we target 2–3 cm horizontal and 3–5 cm vertical RMSE. Achieved values are measured against independent check points and reported on every project.
How many hectares can you map in a day?
With the KS-2 fixed wing we capture 450–600 hectares a day; multirotors deliver 150–250 hectares of orthophoto. Terrain, wind and target resolution affect this.
How does weather affect flights?
Rain, wind above 10 m/s and poor visibility stop flights. Thermal jobs need clear sunny hours, spraying needs low wind. No extra fee is charged for flights postponed because of weather.
What faults can thermal inspection detect?
We detect hot spots, partial shading, bypass diode failures, loose connections, soiling and insulation losses. Each finding is listed with GPS coordinates, temperature delta and a recommended action.
