FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
The Three R’s:
– Reduce Risk
– Reduce Time
– Reduce Costs
Using a drone will reduce the risk to your workforce by removing the requirement for personnel being in hazardous environments, it will expedite the inspection process by reducing the disruption of productivity, and can reduce costs through the potential reduction in insurance premiums, and have your assets inspected and back operational quicker than using existing procedures.
You will also have the added benefit of a permanent record provided from the drone footage.
Every mission is unique due to the complexity, location, associated risks, duration, deliverables, and asset value. However, during the initial discussion of your requirements, we may establish the cost-savings against the current maintenance/inspection costs you are currently experiencing. Check out this link with a great example of the cost savings that can be achieved. Apply this to your industry.
Flyability Case Studies
From your initial enquiry to performing the mission there are many stages that we will go through together to ensure the deliverables that you have requested are provided. The first stage will be discussing your requirements, from which we will conduct a desk-top study to establish the complexities and feasibility of your request. On agreement from yourselves, we will then progress through each stage to the day of the mission, keeping you informed every step of the way.
Assessments need to be produced and agreed upon, suitable insurance cover needs to be in place, contracts need to be exchanged, a technical site survey may be required due to the complexities of the task at hand, and the weather may not be suitable at your preferred date. There are so many variables when planning the mission that we advise against trying to push the boundaries.
