Industrial Chimney Inspection
Drone-based thermography, visual & LiDAR inspection of industrial chimneys and stacks — no scaffolding, no rope access.
Industrial Chimney & Stack Inspection Overview
We conduct comprehensive drone-based inspections of industrial chimneys, stacks, and flues using high-resolution visual, thermal, and LiDAR sensors. Replacing scaffolding, rope-access teams, and shutdown-heavy manual surveys, our UAVs capture the full height and circumference of the structure in a single flight — detecting refractory lining damage, brick/concrete spalling, corrosion, cracks, and flue gas leakage while keeping personnel completely off the structure.
Key Benefits
Zero Work-at-Height Risk
Eliminate scaffolding, rope-access, and rappelling crews entirely.
Refractory & Lining Analysis
Thermal imaging reveals internal lining degradation and hot spots.
Crack & Spalling Detection
High-resolution imagery flags surface cracks, spalling, and erosion.
LiDAR Verticality Profiling
Precise ovality, tilt, and verticality measurement of the stack.
Minimal Shutdown Time
Full inspection completed in hours, not days, reducing downtime.
Cost Efficient
Removes scaffolding, crane, and rope-access mobilization costs.
Our Process
A systematic approach ensuring safety, accuracy, and actionable results.
Site & Safety Assessment
Review chimney height, flue emissions, and airspace restrictions.
Multi-Sensor Flight
Simultaneous visual, thermal, and LiDAR capture around the full stack.
Defect Analysis
Identify and classify refractory damage, cracks, corrosion, and leaks.
Detailed Reporting
Severity-ranked defect report with annotated imagery and location data.
"Precision in every flight, accuracy in every report."
Deliverables
Actionable data formats ready for your engineering teams.
