Methodical patrol helicopter services for mines

Methodical patrol is slow and in-depth, with the helicopter stopping at every asset and conducting a detailed inspection. The helicopter may also use a LIDAR or thermal camera to gain different types of data depending on requirements. 

Asset patrol helicopters for power lines and pipelines

Airborne Solutions’ asset patrol allows for a fast, efficient inspection of assets and vegetation on power line networks and pipelines. The helicopter is able to cover hundreds of kilometres in a short amount of time, giving a thorough overview of the asset being inspected.

Storm patrol helicopters for asset inspection or crew / equipment transfers

After storms and cyclones, the helicopter is the perfect means to quickly inspect assets and ascertain any damages that they have received. The helicopter can also be used to transfer crews, sling poles or equipment to sites inaccessible by road.
