With our advanced aerial drone, we can provide inspection surveys of industrial chimney and cooling towers without the need for costly scaffolding and rope access services.

Visual inspections through a detailed photographic and video inspection can reveal evidence of the majority of problems in a chimney. We inspect and survey industrial chimney stacks, cooling towers, stacks and vents, deploying a pro HD camera which enables us to identify defects, cracks and decay.

UAV survey details the condition of the concrete or brickwork, mantle, lightening conductors, acid resistant coating and cap.

Using UAV technology, PETAGMA captures a series of individual aerial images to cover the full external surface of a structure. Advanced photogrammetry software is then used to create accurate 3D models and highly detailed orthophoto mosaics of the chimney or cooling tower. The results are delivered in traditional formats, which allows the user to visually scan the full height and 360o model with defects accurately measured. Our team inspect the condition of the concrete or brickwork, mantle, lightening conductors, acid resistant coating and cap and highlight any potential dropped objects.

PETAGMA also undertakes UAV internal inspections of the inside of chimney stacks. UAVs reduce the requirement for working at height and in confined spaces, allowing the pilot to undertake a safe first audit of a chimney stack so that further inspection and maintenance can be prioritized.
