Solutions for every water and utility environment
Drones inspect reservoirs, treatment plants, pipelines, and remote pump stations weekly or on-demand. They detect perimeter breaches, vegetation encroachment, leaks (thermal imaging), and unauthorized modifications. Coverage per drone-hour is 5–10× what a ground patrol achieves, at 30–50% lower cost.
Yes. Thermal drones detect subsurface leaks via temperature differentials — wet soil cools differently than dry soil, and leaking water creates a measurable thermal signature. Detection rates of 85–92% are achievable for leaks >5 liters/minute in 50cm-depth pipelines. Ground-truth validation is required for confirmation.
GACA pilot license, GACA aircraft registration, and project-specific flight approvals. Restricted zones (near military, airports, critical infrastructure) require additional MOI clearances. ViewKeeper holds all required licenses and handles permit acquisition as part of the deployment — typical approval timeline is 10–15 business days.
Best practice is weekly perimeter flights for high-risk sites (treatment plants, reservoirs) and monthly flights for pipeline corridors. Post-incident surveys (after a breach report or leak detection) should occur within 24 hours. Annual full-asset surveys provide a baseline for change detection.
Yes. Reports are auto-generated in the format expected by Saudi water authorities (SWCC, NWC) including: survey timestamp, GPS coordinates, anomaly flags, thermal readings, and photographic evidence. Export to PDF or direct API integration with the utility's compliance system.
