Based in Alberta, Maverick Inspection Ltd. maintains a fleet of inspection RPAS for both Internal and External applications. These UAVs represent the most advanced, enterprise level equipment that are available on the market. The UAV Team operates under a comprehensive UAV Operations Program that is combined with the experience of well established procedures in mission planning, operations and data processing. The Maverick Inspection Ltd. UAV Operations Program maintains compliance with the Civil Air Regulations that govern Canadian airspace.

Maverick Inspection understands the needs and requirements of Alberta’s industrial sites. We are a local company that had provided inspection services across Western Canada since 1994.

About RPAS Drones and UAV Inspections

Explore a portion of our common drone inspection applications.  Our UAV teams are fully compliant with the Civil Air Regulations that govern the external operation of remotely piloted aircraft systems in Canadian airspace.

In addition to our crawlers, borescopes and drop cameras, Maverick Inspection routinely uses drones as an additional tool to improve the safety and efficiency of traditional remote video inspection.

CONFINED SPACES

Concrete basins, sumps, surge tanks and infrastructure below ground can be inspected using remote video inspection technologies including drones/UAVs. A drone can eliminate the need for manned entry by providing 4k videos and imaged from inside the structure. De-risk infrastructure inspections by using a drone.

TANKS/SILOS

A drone equipped with a thermal camera will provide an enhanced perspective during a thermographic inspection. A UAV can navigate around the perimeter of furnaces, stacks and flares to record the surface temperature.

FURNACES AND PROCESS HEATERS

Furnaces and process heaters are commonly inspected with an Elios 2. They are typically arranged with sufficient space in the radiant, convection and stack sections for the Elios 2 drone to navigate. Loose refractory and insulation can be inspected without the need for manned entry inside the unit. Tubing, anchors, inlets, piping, manways, refractory brick and cast refractory can be inspected quickly and in high resolution.

INDUSTRIAL DRONE INSPECTION SYSTEMS:

or internal drone inspections, Maverick deploys Flyability’s ELIOS drone. It is engineered to provide safe and effective video inspections of plant equipment internals. ELIOS is collision tolerant and made for stacks, chimneys, vessels, piping, and other industrial internal inspections.

 

DRONE THERMAL INSPECTIONS

The DJI Matrice 300 RTK equipped with a Zenmuse H20T thermal camera is an excellent tool for thermography of solar panels, furnaces, flares stacks, transmission lines. Further case usages include building envelope inspections (windows and doors), evaluation of wall insulation performance, and roofing insulation performance.

Roofing Inspections:

Maverick also provides traditional aerial drone inspections for more commonplace applications such as roof scans, building envelopes, and aerial mapping. Combined with Maverick’s CAD, GIS, Geomatics and mapping capabilities, drones are powerful tools and not just cool toys.
