Solution

Inspecting concrete structures such as bridges, industrial installations or buildings is an intensive, risky and expensive process. Due to complex shapes, tall structures and hard-to-reach areas, inspectors cannot always visually assess every critical spot. 

Traditional inspection methods often require scaffolding or aerial work platforms, which compromises safety and can seriously disrupt the operation of a site. In addition, the manual approach often results in subjective and inconsistent analyses. There is no clear evolution of damage visible, so degradation or defects can go unnoticed until it is too late. This leads to higher costs for corrective maintenance and unforeseen downtime. 

In a context where safety, sustainability and cost-efficiency are essential, the traditional inspection approach is clearly inadequate. The need for an accurate, safe and scalable solution for structural analysis of concrete is greater than ever.

SkyeBase offers an innovative inspection solution for concrete structures such as bridges, buildings, dams and industrial installations. With the help of drones, hard-to-reach areas are quickly and safely visualized, without the need for scaffolding or aerial work platforms. 

The collected images are processed into a detailed 3D model on which cracks, erosion, coating problems and other defects are automatically recognized via artificial intelligence. This results in an objective, consistent analysis and allows for the monitoring of damage evolutions over time. The digital reports are clear and interactive, including filter options and trend analyses. 

For in-depth technical investigations, SkyeBase works together with concrete specialists who carry out inspections according to the NBN EN 1504-9 standard, including analysis of cover, reinforcement and concrete quality. Thanks to a mobile climbing robot, even vertical or hard-to-reach areas can be efficiently examined. In this way, SkyeBase delivers a total solution that combines speed, security, cost efficiency and depth within one integrated workflow.

Fast and consistent detection
  • Critical damage to concrete structures is detected early, which increases safety and longevity
  • Automation and standardization reduce dependence on individual interpretations

Defect analysis over time
  • Trend analyses show structural degradation at an early stage
  • Pixel level comparison via AI prevents errors of judgement and ensures objective decision-making

Optimized costs through efficient planning
  • Inspection costs are reduced by reducing the use of personnel, time and equipment
  • Resources are targeted based on damage priority and risk analysis

Budgetable and plannable maintenance
  • Defects become predictable, allowing maintenance to be planned proactively and cost-efficiently
  • Insight into damage evolution supports both short- and long-term planning Maintenance budgets are clear and better substantiated towards stakeholders

Minimal operational disruption
  • Inspections are fast and have no impact on daily operations
  • Continuing operations, contributing to productivity and continuity
