Why We Use DJI
DJI Enterprise drones offer unmatched reliability, image quality, and mission flexibility. Whether surveying a façade or inspecting solar panel rows, they deliver fast, safe, and professional outcomes every time.
Other Drones Considered
For longer endurance missions, we use Quantum Systems. But for agile, short-duration inspections, DJI remains the UK’s most trusted aerial platform.
Rapid Aerial Inspections Without Access Delays
NDTScan’s use of DJI Enterprise drones allows us to overcome the common barriers to traditional inspection — limited access, high costs, and long mobilisation times. Our drone inspection service provides fast, high-resolution visual and thermal assessments of hard-to-reach structures without the need for scaffolding, elevated platforms, or rope access teams.
By operating UAVs under strict Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) regulations and utilising fully GVC-certified pilots, we ensure every flight is conducted safely, legally, and in line with the latest industry best practice. Our teams can mobilise quickly from anywhere in the UK to inspect assets within days — reducing programme delays, improving health and safety outcomes, and delivering engineering-grade data for review.
We support both planned and reactive inspections — including storm damage response, insurance documentation, site validation, and defect investigations — using a suite of tools designed to produce precise, georeferenced, and actionable outputs.
Smarter Data Collection from the Sky
DJI Enterprise drones enable NDTScan to deliver more than just images. By integrating multiple sensors and leveraging RTK precision, we capture rich datasets that support informed decisions across asset management, construction verification, environmental monitoring, and infrastructure maintenance.
Our aerial inspections generate:
-
High-resolution orthophotos for condition documentation and defect identification
-
Thermal imagery for insulation performance, water ingress, and heat loss analysis
-
Oblique and vertical photography for façade mapping and roofing detail
-
Laser-assisted distance measurements for object tracking and spatial validation
-
Video flythroughs for stakeholder engagement, progress capture, and record keeping
We tailor each flight plan to match the client’s requirements — capturing the right angles, lighting, and sensor types to deliver accurate and consistent results. Our workflow supports regular re-inspections and change detection over time, enabling long-term condition monitoring for buildings, highways, and industrial facilities.
Engineering-Ready Outputs for Design, Review, and Compliance
All outputs from our DJI inspection drones are delivered in formats compatible with design, planning, and asset management software. We provide full-resolution images, orthomosaics, geotagged maps, and processed 3D models that integrate into CAD, GIS, and BIM workflows.
Where thermal data is captured, we deliver both radiometric JPEGs and visual overlays that illustrate temperature deltas across key surfaces. This data is particularly useful for identifying failed solar panel cells, poor roof insulation, HVAC anomalies, or water ingress points not visible from ground level.
Our drone reports also include:
-
Annotated image sets
-
Flight path maps and metadata logs
-
Defect tagging for review by engineers or insurers
-
Export files for Autodesk, QGIS, or BIM coordination platforms
-
Optional cloud-hosted viewers for client-side interaction without specialist software
This ensures clients can make use of the data in both technical and non-technical environments — from boardroom presentations to engineering reviews and asset lifecycle plans.
Inspections That Improve Safety and Reduce Cost
The primary benefit of drone inspection is risk reduction. By removing the need to physically access dangerous or fragile areas, NDTScan reduces the likelihood of accidents, improves compliance with CDM and HSE guidelines, and cuts down on costly work-at-height permits and access infrastructure.
This is particularly valuable in environments such as:
-
Railway overbridges and viaducts
-
Live industrial plants
-
High-voltage substations and wind farms
-
Tall façades or glazed structures
-
Delicate roofs or heritage assets
Instead of waiting weeks for scaffolding or MEWP access, we can inspect the asset in hours — delivering the same (or better) visibility with none of the physical risk. In many cases, our drone inspections have enabled immediate remediation or confirmed no action was required — saving clients thousands in unnecessary works.
Used Across Every Sector
Our DJI Enterprise fleet supports drone inspections across multiple industries:
Construction: Pre-pour validation, progress tracking, and cladding inspections
Utilities & Energy: Solar panel surveys, pylon checks, and powerline route inspections
Transport: Bridge spans, tunnel portals, and rail infrastructure condition checks
Property Management: Roof inspections, water ingress tracing, and elevation surveys
Heritage: Façade detail capture, structural condition checks, and non-contact mapping
Each inspection is tailored to site conditions and client objectives. Whether it’s a one-off reactive survey or part of a recurring asset review cycle, NDTScan’s drone service provides speed, quality, and consistency every time.
Integrating Drone Inspections into Asset Strategy
Drone inspections aren’t just for standalone surveys — they’re a powerful tool in long-term asset lifecycle management. Our team supports clients in developing regular inspection schedules that feed directly into planned maintenance systems, risk registers, and insurance compliance.
By capturing consistent datasets over time, we enable clients to track material degradation, movement, weather exposure, and remedial works. This trend analysis forms part of our broader asset management offering — providing defensible evidence for cost forecasting, capital works justification, and regulatory compliance.
Where required, we combine aerial data with other NDT techniques including thermography, ultrasonic inspection, and concrete scanning — providing a multi-angle, multi-technology condition record of high-value assets.
Why We Choose DJI Enterprise for Professional Aerial Surveys
The DJI Enterprise range offers unmatched reliability, flexibility, and integration. Their mission-specific payloads allow us to customise each flight for the asset type, visibility conditions, and data requirements — whether that’s a solar farm under midday sun or a cracked roof tile in winter twilight.
The M350 RTK provides centimetre-level positional accuracy and real-time transmission over long distances — ideal for open-field, linear, or high-altitude inspections. The Zenmuse H20T’s quad-sensor array lets us capture thermal and visual data in one pass, reducing flight time and processing workload.
DJI’s Terra software enables fast and accurate map generation and modelling, while the broader DJI Enterprise ecosystem ensures stable firmware updates, part availability, and global support — all essential to keeping inspections safe, timely, and on-spec.
