Workshop on multicopters for inspection 2021
Wednesday 16 June 2021
| Due to the escalating situation with regard to the coronavirus outbreak in the UK, BINDT has taken the decision to host the Workshop on Multicopters for Inspection as a virtual experience in place of a physical event. The Workshop on Multicopters for Inspection will take place on Wednesday 16 June 2021. |
This webinar follows on from the successful 2018 workshop and will present delegates with information about the current progress of developments for multicopters, commonly known as drones, for carrying out aerial inspections of industrial and other assets.
Multicopters are increasingly being used to conduct inspections of locations that are difficult to access or hostile to human inspectors. Great cost savings have been made through the use of multicopters when compared to traditional inspection methods that often require scaffolding to be erected.
Drones can carry high-resolution cameras, thermal imaging or light detection and ranging (LIDAR) equipment. Recent developments include the deployment of ultrasonic sensors to take thickness measurements of remote components.
The aim of the workshop is to inform delegates of the legal, safety and training requirements, supported by case studies of a variety of applications, including oil & gas, wind turbines, rail, power generation and distribution.
