DRONE INSPECTIONS AND AERIAL SURVEYS

Medway Access & Rescue delivers fast, safe and cost-effective drone inspections for hard-to-reach assets. 

Our UAV aerial surveys provide high-resolution visual, thermal imaging and photogrammetry to assess roofs, façades, wind turbines and critical infrastructure — reducing risk, cost and downtime.

Safe. Fast. Insightful.

Using qualified pilots and compliant flight planning, we capture precise data without scaffolding or disruption. 

Detailed imagery, orthomosaics and thermal hot-spot detection help you prioritise maintenance and prove compliance with a clear audit trail.

What We Inspect

  • Roofs & façades — condition surveys, water ingress, cladding and fixings

  • Wind turbines — blades, nacelles, towers; pre/post-maintenance verification

  • Industrial plants & utilities — stacks, pipe racks, tanks and cable routes

  • Bridges & structures — deck, bearings, joints and corrosion mapping

  • Marine & offshore assets — hulls, topsides and inaccessible structures

Our UAV Capabilities

  • High-resolution visual photography and 4K video

  • Thermal imaging (IR) for moisture, insulation and electrical faults

  • Photogrammetry & orthomosaics for measurement and change tracking

  • Reporting — annotated findings, defect registers and media delivery

  • Regulatory compliance — risk assessments, airspace checks and permissions

When to Use Drones vs. Rope Access

Drones excel for rapid surveys, large areas and preliminary assessments. 

For detailed intervention (cleaning, repair, testing) our rope access teams complete the physical work — often informed by UAV findings for a streamlined end-to-end solution.

Why Choose Medway Access & Rescue

  • End-to-end service: UAV survey → rope access verification → remedial works

  • Qualified pilots and robust flight safety management

  • Actionable outputs: defects highlighted, prioritised and geo-referenced

  • Experience across commercial, industrial, energy and infrastructure sectors
