Monitoring with RPAS

Rope Access Maintenance in Hard to Reach Locations

RPAS Monitoring Service

In recent years, GIS, consistently aligned with its HSE oriented mission, has developed advanced expertise in technological services based on the use of RPAS Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems or civilian DRONES. These services are aimed at performing video inspections, including thermographic surveys, as well as environmental data collection through the use of high precision sensors and analyzers.

The objective is to provide reliable support during inspections, testing activities, surveys related to structural failures, damage, cracks, gas leaks, leakage detection, creation of 3D topographic models, and environmental monitoring and control activities.

Excellence in Technology

The drones selected by GIS to deliver its services represent the best solutions currently available on the market.

Professional DJI Drones

These include DJI MATRICE and PHANTOM models, manufactured by the global market leader, fully ENAC certified, highly reliable and robust, with technical features that make them ideal for industrial applications.

ENAC Certified Pilots

GIS employs four ENAC certified RPAS pilots, enabling the company to deliver its services in a scalable and simultaneous manner across multiple clients and locations.

In particular, the MATRICE drone is designed for software developers who can leverage its extensive capabilities through the dedicated SDK Software Developer Kit, which provides access to its advanced features and functionalities.
GIS pilots are fully qualified to prepare dedicated flight plans, risk assessments, and official communications to the competent authorities, ensuring full compliance with the strict regulations governing remotely piloted aircraft operations. Each GIS aircraft is fully insured to guarantee maximum safety for both clients and pilots.

Service Advantages

  • Reduction of time and costs
  • Ability to inspect sites that are hazardous for personnel
  • No infrastructure required for operations
  • No need to shut down the plant
  • Fast, flexible, and repeatable operations
  • Enhanced monitoring of infrastructure conditions
  • Ability to make strategic decisions without shutting down the plant

Rope Access Maintenance

GIS has also developed, alongside the expertise gained through work at height and confined space rescue assignments SQSC and operations in hard to reach environments, specific competencies that are now applied in the delivery of minor rope access maintenance activities.

Some phases and activities that can be carried out:

  • Painting of flanged connections at height
  • Painting of structural elements or walls at height
  • Safety securing of equipment and structures at height
  • Work at height inspections on the condition of equipment and structures
  • Support to third party technicians during maintenance activities at height

Naturally, it is possible to combine the two innovative services offered, for example by carrying out a visual inspection with a drone and immediately analyzing the condition of the affected assets through video and photographic material, including thermographic imaging, followed by a rope access maintenance intervention to resolve the identified anomaly.
