Illustration of a GPS denied internal flight.

What this actually is

The entry is the risk. Remove the entry.

A confined space entry carries a permit, a standby crew, gas monitoring, rescue provisions and often a shutdown. The inspection itself is frequently the smallest part of the cost and by far the largest part of the risk.

A caged, collision-tolerant aircraft flying on LiDAR SLAM does not need GPS, does not need light, and does not need anyone to go inside.

Interior flight through a tank, 4K with the point cloud building live

A measurable 3D record of the inside of an asset, captured without an entry.

What people order it for

Where this earns its money.

Tanks, silos and vessels

Internal corrosion, weld condition and product build-up without an entry permit.

Sewers, penstocks and culverts

Structural condition through lengths nobody wants to crawl.

Dams and underground works

Spillway, gallery and shaft condition captured as a measurable 3D record.

Deliverables

What lands in your portal.

  • 4K video and stills with high-power lighting through dust and dark
  • Thermal imagery where a heat signature indicates a defect
  • 3D point cloud a measurable record of the internal space, not just footage
  • Flight log covering where in the asset each frame was captured

Everything comes back into your enterprise portal. Already paying for ESRI, Bentley, DroneDeploy or Pix4D? Tell us at the point of ordering and it goes straight there instead. Raw data is retained on Aerologix servers either way, so you can come back for it.

Being straight with you

Where this is the wrong product.

Every supplier will tell you what their product does. Fewer will tell you what it does not, which is usually the more useful half.

This is specialist work and it is priced that way

If you have found your way here from a $350 inspection tile, that tile is the wrong product. Confined space needs a specialist pilot and a specific aircraft.

Atmosphere still has to be assessed

The drone removes the entry, not the hazard. Purging, isolation and gas testing remain your responsibility.

Very large spaces take several flights

Nine minutes of flight is the constraint. Plan for a session, not a pass.

Water and heavy product limit what is visible

A part-full tank shows you the part above the product.

Questions

The things people actually ask.

Does it work without GPS or light?

Yes. Navigation is LiDAR SLAM with optical flow, so it holds position inside a steel vessel in complete darkness. Onboard lighting is around 16,000 lumens.

What if it hits the wall?

The aircraft is caged and collision tolerant. Contact with walls and internals is expected in this kind of work and the aircraft stays stable.

Do we still need a confined space permit?

For the inspection itself, generally not, because nobody enters. Your own isolation, purging and atmospheric testing obligations do not change. Talk to us before you plan the outage.

Can we get measurements out of it, not just video?

Yes. A 3D point cloud of the internal space is part of the deliverable, so defects can be located and sized rather than described.
