Drone Solutions for Utility Inspection

Sensorem delivers advanced drone-based infrastructural and utilities services across Australia. By leveraging the technology of cutting-edge drones, sensors and automated workflows, we’re able to supply accurate asset assessments, ongoing surveillance and detailed data-driven insights that support safety, compliance and operational efficacy. 

Drone Solutions for Critical Utility Infrastructure

Pipeline & Water Infrastructure Surveillance

Sensorem’s drone systems offer continuous, high-accuracy monitoring of pipelines, reservoirs and distribution corridors. Using automated flight paths and real-time telemetry, operators can achieve reliable visibility over leaks, intrusions and structural risks without having to deploy ground crews to remote or hazardous areas.  

Power Line & Transmission Network Inspections

Our drone systems are able to capture detailed imaging and thermal data across overhead lines and supporting structures. This makes it considerably easier to identify early signs of wear, vegetation risks and component issues, allowing maintenance teams to act before a fault becomes a major issue. 

Wind Turbine & Renewable Energy Assessments

The aerial imaging service Sensorem offers assists in streamlining turbine blade checks, tower assessments and solar array reviews. Thanks to high-quality visuals and consistent flight paths, it’s much simpler to track variations over time, improve planning and minimise the need for high-risk works. 

Power Station & Substation Inspections

Our drones equipped with optical and thermal sensors provide safe and consistent inspections of substations and generation facilities. These flights can capture empirical condition data, support compliance requirements and reduce the need for isolations and access to high-risk electrical sites. 

How Drones Improve Utilities Inspections

Cost Savings

Drone-based inspection exercises minimise the need for in-person site visits, specialised access equipment and prolonged shutdowns. 

Sensorem’s Remote Operations Centre (ROC) and Drone-in-a-Box (DiaB) systems are able to support repeated, automated flights, in turn limiting the operational costs and giving teams the data they need without the need for a field crew.

Complete Reporting Insights

High-resolution imaging, LiDAR and 3D modelling gives teams a clear, measurable view of asset status and condition. 

Sensorem is able to process visual, thermal and structural data into actionable reports and digital twins, allowing utilities operators to track deterioration, prioritise maintenance tasks and validate works relying on consistent outputs. 

Safe & Compliant

Through flying drones instead of sending in personnel to these remote locales, organisations are able to dramatically reduce exposure of employees to risk. 

Sensorem operates within stringent regulatory frameworks, with experienced pilots, engineered workflows and Civil Aviation Security Authority (CASA) aligned compliance protocols that are designed to support safe and auditable inspections.

Weather-Resistant Technology Operating 24/7

Sensorem’s drone systems are engineered for year-round reliability. With weather-rated aircraft, monitored flight conditions and automated launch platforms, operations can remain active during challenging conditions and outside regular working hours. 

Combined with remote oversight through the ROC, true 24/7 readiness is available for time-sensitive inspections or continuous monitoring.
