Thermal intelligence

See what the eye can’t.

Every thermal record is reviewed against the matching visual image, measured, and written up with an observation, potential impact and recommended action, so a hot connection becomes a work order, not a mystery.

  • Radiometric spot temperatures on every flagged component
  • Thermal and visual records paired by structure
  • Severity-ranked findings, from informational to critical

Deliverables

Data your team can take straight into planning.

The value of an inspection is created after the aircraft lands. Findings are organized around the asset in a customer portal and a professional report package.

  • Executive summary with findings by severity
  • Annotated visual and thermal imagery
  • Asset-level GPS coordinates and KMZ / KML files
  • Structure measurements and recommended actions

How we work

A clear process from scope to delivery.

Plan

Confirm assets, site requirements, inspection criteria, safety orientation and reporting expectations.

Inspect

Collect consistent thermal and visual data with disciplined, JSA-driven field execution.

Review

Organize findings, annotate defects, measure temperatures and tie every issue to the correct asset.

Deliver

Hand your team a portal and report package, typically within 24–72 hours.

Energy experience first

Not just a drone company. An energy service provider.

Drone Force was built from 15 years in renewable energy and eight years supporting high-voltage assets, across wind operations, substations, transmission systems and utility maintenance.

That background shapes what we inspect, how we work safely on your site, and how we communicate findings to the people who have to fix them.

Nationwide coverage

One inspection partner, wherever the project is.

Based in Friona, Texas, and available for mobilization in all 50 states. Regional pages cover our priority renewable-energy markets.
