Use Cases

Inspect more assets, more often, from the ground.

Drones, sensors and software matched to the infrastructure you manage, so crews stay off towers and out of confined spaces while you build a consistent record of asset condition.

Asset Inspection

Assets we help you inspect

Bridges, substations, towers and pipelines are aging faster than most teams can inspect them, and the climbers and confined-space crews traditional inspections depend on are harder to staff every year. Drones put the camera where the person used to be.

Utilities and substations

Transmission and distribution lines, substations and generation assets, with thermal imaging to find hot spots before they fail.

Bridges and transportation

Undersides, bearings and joints that are hard to reach without lane closures or snooper trucks.

Solar installations

Thermal surveys that flag failing panels and strings across large sites.

Telecom towers

Close-up antenna and mount inspections without a tower climb.

Oil and gas

Pipelines, tanks, flare stacks and facilities, including leak checks and incident response.

Indoor and confined spaces

Tanks, tunnels, boilers and building interiors, without sending a person inside.

How it works

Plan, capture, deliver

A repeatable workflow, so every inspection cycle covers the same assets with the same shots and builds a record you can compare over time.

1. Plan

We start from your asset list and inspection requirements, then set up missions so every flight captures what the inspection needs to answer.

2. Capture

Crews fly on site, or docked drones fly scheduled missions remotely, with obstacle avoidance keeping flights safe near live equipment and inside structures.

3. Deliver

Imagery comes back organized by asset and can become 3D models, measurements and AI-flagged findings that feed the systems your team already uses.

Tools we use for inspection

  • Skydio X10, R10 and Dock: autonomous drones with visual and radiometric thermal sensors, an indoor drone for confined spaces, and docks for remote, scheduled flights.
  • Freefly Astro: an industrial drone that carries thermal, zoom and LiDAR payloads for specialty inspection work.
  • Buzz Solutions: AI analytics that review utility inspection imagery and flag defects.
  • Pix4D: turns inspection imagery into measurable 3D models.

A program, not a one-off flight

A single inspection tells you how one asset looked on one day. We help you set the cadence that fits your assets, whether annual, seasonal or after a storm, and keep the same shots on the same assets every cycle so you can spot change early and plan maintenance before small problems become outages.

From first flight to a lasting program

Cleartopia supports setup, pilot training and workflow design, and our drone services team can collect the data for you while your own team builds its capability.
