Aerial Drone With Built-In Thermal Imaging
The thermal imaging cameras mounted on aerial drones are useful mapping tools. The drones highlight temperature differences that can indicate the origin of a leak or where there is moist or otherwise compromised insulation. The footage allows the TeamCrafts pilot operating the drone to assess damage without having to peel back layers of the roof. The drone flyover can cut back the number of core samples needed from a roof inspection.
What Are the Advantages of Drone Technology?
Safety
Drones allow roofing companies to perform preliminary roof inspections without risking their personal safety on a possibly dangerous building structure. This dramatically decreases the hazards associated with roof inspection. According to OSHA, falls are the leading cause of death in the construction industry, accounting for over 3,500 fatalities between 2003 and 2013. Falls from roofs accounted for nearly 1,200, or 34%, of the fall deaths during that period.
Roofing-related accidents on average cause more than 300 deaths each year in the United States. The use of drones could reduce the injury and mortality rate by a great deal.
Greater Accessibility
Some roofs are hard to inspect in person due to factors such as dampness, height, and grade. There are even some roofing materials that are hazardous to walk on, such as clay. Historically, some facility managers have tried to use camera poles to assist inspectors with their roof analysis, but these have limitations. Camera poles can help visualize some of the roofs, but typically have limited depth capabilities and can leave large portions of the roof unseen. Towering chimney stacks also present difficulties to roof inspectors. Rather than climb a potentially dangerous tower, the roof inspector can fly the drone to inspect the structure and ensure that every nook and cranny is assessed.
Cost-Cutting
By utilizing drones TeamCraft does not have to bring as many risers, ladders, and other supplies to roof inspections, which helps us keep the customers bill as cost-effective as possible. It also cuts down on the amount of on-site accessibility training our consultants have to perform which also saves time and money.
Time-Saving
Time is money when it comes to construction! By utilizing drones we help make sure our consultants are pinpointing the key problems on your roof quickly and accurately. Less time on the roof is more dollars in your pocket.
Manpower
Drones allow commercial roofing inspections to be performed by significantly smaller teams. Small roofs can be assessed by just one drone pilot, and if a roof is large an additional VO (visual observer) can be remotely brought in. The VO helps ensure that the line of sight (LOS) is maintained and that all the thermal data is analyzed.
