Cell towers
Cell towers are the foundation of the modern communication network, and any malfunction can lead to signal interruption and financial losses.
That is why we at Vayo Drones offer a professional telecommunication tower inspection service,
providing data for timely maintenance, which is key to the reliable operation of the system.
Thermographic inspection
Thermal inspection is a key tool for the maintenance of telecommunication towers, allowing for the early detection of potential problems. With the help of thermal imaging cameras, a detailed analysis of the various components of the tower is performed, such as antennas, connecting cables, and others. This ensures safety and reduces the risk of expensive failures.
Identification of anomalies
Through thermographic analysis of infrared images, areas with temperature anomalies on key components are detected.
Timely maintenance
The early detection of anomalies allows for timely planning of repairs and prevention of network outages.
Visual inspection
Visual inspection provides a detailed overview of the tower's condition. With the help of high resolution cameras, drones capture both images for creating a 3d model and close up shots of various components, allowing for the identification of visible problems such as corrosion, mechanical damage, loose fasteners, and others.
Creation of a 3D model
A detailed three dimensional model of the tower is built from the images. It allows for a virtual inspection from different angles, measurement of distances, and extraction of information about specific components.
Benefits of the inspection
Тhe collected and processed data support maintenance planning and serve as an archive for future analysis, comparisons of condition over time, and for future modifications.
