HR Surveyors provides UAV inspection services across Australia, using CASA-certified drone operations to capture high-resolution imagery, video and LiDAR data of infrastructure and asset condition. Unlike site mapping or topographic surveys, UAV inspection is focused on visual and dimensional condition assessment, identifying defects, corrosion, cracking and wear on structures that are difficult, costly or unsafe to access by conventional means.

Infrastructure & Asset Condition Inspection

Drone-based inspection of bridges, towers, rooftops, solar and wind assets, and utility infrastructure, capturing high-resolution imagery and LiDAR data to identify defects, corrosion, cracking and wear for asset owners and facility managers.

Construction Progress & Hazardous-Access Inspection

Regular drone inspection of active construction sites, building facades, roofing and elevated or hazardous structures, removing the need for scaffolding, rope access or confined-space entry while keeping site teams and asset managers informed.

Deliverables Tied to Survey Control

High-resolution imagery, orthophotos and LiDAR point clouds referenced to MGA2020/GDA2020 survey control, so inspection data can be measured, compared over time and integrated into asset management and BIM systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is UAV inspection and how is it different from drone surveying?

UAV inspection is focused on capturing the visual and physical condition of an asset or structure, such as defects, corrosion, cracking and wear, rather than producing topographic or mapping data. Our drone surveying and aerial mapping services capture terrain and site data for design and volumetrics; UAV inspection captures condition data for infrastructure, buildings and hazardous-access structures. We can combine both where a project needs mapping and condition inspection together.

What structures and assets can UAV inspection cover?

We inspect bridges, towers, rooftops, facades, solar and wind farm assets, utility and industrial infrastructure, and construction sites during the build program. Drone inspection is particularly valuable for elevated, confined or hazardous-access structures where scaffolding, rope access or confined-space entry would otherwise be required.

Do you provide UAV inspection near me?

Yes. We operate from five offices across Australia — our Huntingdale head office and Geelong office in Victoria, West Leederville in Perth WA, Loganholme near Brisbane QLD, and Edinburgh North in Adelaide SA — so we can mobilise UAV inspection teams to construction sites and infrastructure assets across Victoria, Western Australia, Queensland and South Australia. Contact us with your location and asset type for a free, no-obligation quote.

Do your drone inspection operators hold CASA certification?

Yes. Our UAV inspection operations are conducted under a CASA-issued ReOC (Remotely Piloted Aircraft Operator Certificate), meaning all commercial drone flights are fully regulated and insured. Our pilots are experienced in operating near infrastructure, elevated structures and active construction sites under ISO 9001 quality processes.
