Staff Safety: Dams often contain hazardous areas, with risks such as height, water, and other potentially dangerous factors. By using drones, inspections can be conducted without exposing staff directly to these risks. Quick and Precise Inspection: Drones enable fast and precise inspection of critical parts of dams. This reduces the time needed for investigation and issue identification, thereby improving maintenance efficiency. Detailed Visual Information: Drones provide high-quality real-time visual information. This allows inspectors to clearly see surfaces, joints, concrete structures, and other details that may indicate problems. Early Problem Detection: Drones enable early detection of issues such as cracks, erosion, material wear, and other defects. Early detection helps prevent more serious damage and potential compromise to the dam's structure. Reduced Downtime: Efficient drone inspection reduces the time needed for investigation and issue identification. This allows for a swift response to potential problems and helps maintain dam stability. Maintenance Planning: Information gathered during the inspection aids in better planning of regular maintenance and servicing of dams. This can extend their lifespan and reduce maintenance costs. Accurate Documentation: The recordings and 3D maps created by the drone can be used to document the condition of dams over time. This documentation helps track changes and make informed maintenance decisions. Reduced Risk to Personnel: Drone inspection reduces the need for human presence at heights and other dangerous locations. This lowers the risk of injuries or exposure to potential hazards. Inspection in Harsh Conditions: Drones are designed to handle challenging environments, including water and winds. This allows for effective dam inspection even in demanding conditions.
