Drone Media Imaging and Solid Waste Landfill Sites
The potential of drones as a tool in the solid waste industry is still being realised but one of the most common uses is to conduct aerial surveys featuring both still images and videography. The ability of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to access areas that would be difficult or impossible for foot traffic offers a massive advantage at a fraction of the cost of a traditional piloted aerial survey.
It is anticipated that the deployment of drones for survey purposes will only increase and the addition of thermal imaging cameras adds to the use of the survey images by pinpointing risk areas for sub-surface fires at the earliest possible opportunity.
The capture of real time imagery of a waste disposal site can provide an invaluable tool in assessing stability, monitoring erosion, standing water and hot spots. Drone mapping can provide landfill managers with a fast and comprehensive overview of their sites to improve both design, safety and efficiency.
This fast and accurate acquisition of airborne survey data can assist with
- growth tracking
- calculating remaining life expectancy
- compaction
- erosion
- tracking of greenhouse gas emissions
This is all at a tiny fraction of the cost f the more traditional annual piloted aerial surveys, offering both financial savings and the opportunity to increase survey frequency for improved site management.
Level 3 Thermography Reporting Project – 3 Multi-Storey Residential Blocks
We supported a large thermal inspection project across three residential buildings by providing certified Level 3 thermographic reporting based on drone data collected by the client. Using a protocol we developed, they captured radiometric thermal images, which we analysed remotely to identify heat loss, glazing issues, and roof moisture indicators. This collaborative approach showcases how our clients can carry out surveys independently, while we deliver professional-grade thermographic interpretation and reporting — cost-effectively and without needing site access.
The Importance of Solar Panel Inspections in Spring
Spring and summer are peak months for solar energy production—ensure your panels are operating efficiently with a professional thermal imaging inspection. Compliance with IEC62446-3:2017 is essential for both commercial and domestic systems, helping to prevent faults, optimise performance, and maintain insurance coverage. Book your inspection today!
