Pain points

—Remote corridors and difficult terrain make walking inspections costly and risky.

—Corrosion and leaks call for frequent, systematic checks.

—Environmental change is hard to document with disconnected reports.

Advantages

✓Aerial missions cover long routes while reducing field exposure.

✓Repeatable imaging supports comparison and targeted maintenance.

✓Digital records can be shared with operations teams.

Solution

Portable, specialist or automated routes

Select a configuration for rapid corridor patrols, gas investigation or regular remote collection.

Portable corridor patrol

DJI Matrice 4T

DJI Matrice 4T

Visible and thermal imaging in a compact aircraft for planned pipeline routes.

  • Repeatable waypoint missions
  • Zoom and thermal checks of anomalies
  • Practical deployment at multiple access points
Rugged inspection

DJI Matrice 30T

DJI Matrice 30T

A foldable platform with integrated sensors for demanding sites and longer inspection routes.

  • Zoom and infrared observations
  • Laser ranging to locate findings
  • Consistent data from recorded routes
Specialist leak assessment

DJI Matrice 400 + gas sensor

DJI Matrice 400 + gas sensor

Use an appropriate third-party gas detection payload where leak sensing is required, alongside visual context.

  • Sensor choice must match the gas and task
  • Record anomaly coordinates and imagery
  • H30T can provide zoom and thermal context
Scheduled remote patrol

DJI Dock 3 + Matrice 4TD

DJI Dock 3 + Matrice 4TD

Run recurring sections of pipeline inspection remotely and share results in FlightHub 2.

  • Automated missions over defined areas
  • Remote visual and thermal review
  • Centralized inspection history
Workflow

From corridor route to maintenance

01 · Plan

Record a repeatable route and identify the components to examine.

02 · Inspect

Fly the route, pause for close review where an anomaly appears.

03 · Review

Compare the imagery and sensor evidence; send precise locations for ground follow-up.
