Industrial UAS inspection services

Inspect smarter.
Act sooner.

Professional aerial inspections for industrial assets, infrastructure, construction and remote worksites—planned around safety, airspace and decision-ready reporting.

A better inspection route

Reach the asset.
Reduce the exposure.

Inspection access can be slow, disruptive and hazardous long before the first useful image is captured.

Ven-Tech combines aviation planning, industrial worksite discipline and purpose-selected sensors to collect consistent visual and spatial evidence. Each mission starts with the asset and the decision—not simply the aircraft.

Inspection capabilities

One platform.
Many assets.

From a single condition check to repeat monitoring, every deployment is built around the worksite, inspection objective and required output.

Inspection intelligence

More than imagery.
A usable record.

Professional inspection depends on repeatable capture, field quality checks and organized deliverables. Ven-Tech connects the flight to the information your engineering, maintenance or project team needs next.

  • 01 High-resolution visual evidence
  • 02 Repeatable viewpoints and routes
  • 03 Annotated, measurable outputs
  • 04 Secure project documentation

Why UAS inspection

Less access risk.
Better evidence.

For suitable assets, UAS inspection can improve visibility and documentation while reducing exposure, access equipment and disruption.

01

Safer access

Reduce personnel exposure around elevated, remote or difficult-to-reach assets.

02

Faster coverage

Capture broad sites and complex structures efficiently with a planned aerial route.

03

Repeatable records

Use consistent capture plans to compare condition or progress over time.

04

Practical reporting

Deliver imagery, models and inspection records that support the next decision.

Canadian aviation framework

Airspace-ready.
Mission-specific.

Applicable requirements depend on the aircraft, location and flight profile. Ven-Tech plans each project to the current Canadian framework, which may include the following certificates, registrations and authorizations.

ImportantNot every mission needs every approval. The correct category and authorization are confirmed during planning.
01

Pilot Certificate – Advanced Operations

Applied to advanced operations such as controlled-airspace work, closer proximity to people and eligible medium-drone operations.

02

Pilot Certificate – Level 1 Complex Operations

Used for eligible lower-risk complex operations, including applicable beyond-visual-line-of-sight missions.

03

RPAS Operator Certificate (RPOC)

Required for an operator conducting Level 1 Complex operations under the applicable Canadian framework.

04

SFOC-RPAS

Project-specific Transport Canada authorization for operations that fall outside Basic, Advanced or Level 1 Complex rules.

05

RPAS registration & safety assurance

Registration, operating documentation and aircraft safety assurance are matched to the category and intended mission.

06

NAV CANADA or DND authorization

Controlled-airspace or military-aerodrome permission is obtained when the project location and flight profile require it.

Inspection workflow

Plan the mission.
Deliver the evidence.

A disciplined workflow connects aviation compliance, worksite safety, data quality and reporting.

01

Define the objective

Confirm the asset, inspection question, accuracy and required deliverable.

02

Review & authorize

Assess hazards, airspace, aircraft suitability, permissions and site controls.

03

Capture & verify

Complete the flight plan and verify coverage and image quality in the field.

04

Process & report

Organize findings into usable imagery, measurements, models and records.

Company credentials

Common questions

Planning a
UAS inspection?

Send us the asset, location and decision you need to make. We’ll help define the right inspection route.

What can be inspected using UAS technology?+

Suitable assets may include tanks, roofs, bridges, towers, process facilities, construction sites, stockpiles, corridors, commercial properties and remote infrastructure. Ven-Tech reviews each asset and inspection objective before recommending a flight method.

What inspection deliverables can you provide?+

Deliverables can include high-resolution imagery, annotated findings, thermal records, orthomosaics, 3D models, point clouds, volumetric calculations, progress comparisons and project-specific inspection reports.

Can you operate in controlled airspace?+

Controlled-airspace work is assessed mission by mission. The pilot certificate, aircraft capability, site controls and required NAV CANADA or Department of National Defence authorization must all align before the flight proceeds.

Do UAS inspections require a shutdown?+

Many aerial inspections can be completed with limited operational disruption. Final requirements depend on the asset hazards, personnel exposure, process conditions, airspace and the client’s site controls.

What information is needed for a quote?+

Send the site location, asset type, inspection objective, required deliverable, preferred timing and any known airspace, access or safety constraints. Existing drawings and inspection records are also helpful.
