Unmanned aerial inspections and surveys of difficult to access structures and pipelines allow for safe, efficient and high quality visual and sensor assessments of transmission and distribution towers, bridges, buildings and pipelines; or as a damage assessment tool. Using aircraft designed and built from the ground up by our Aerial Services and engineering teams, ULC Robotics works with the utility and energy industry to develop applications for UAV technology, conduct test flights and carry out drone utility inspection services.
Safer flights. Better Data. Actionable insights.
ULC Robotics brings nearly 20 years of technology development and robotics-as-a-service expertise into our drone utility inspection services. We understand utilities and how to deliver work safely.
To streamline data review and processing, our team can build proprietary machine learning platforms designed around your inspection requirements and criteria.
Our team deploys purpose-built, fault-tolerant UAS that were developed by our engineers and pilots to deliver safer, more reliable flights while protecting critical utility data.
