Drones for Dam Inspection

Drones have revolutionized dam inspection by providing safer, faster, and more cost-effective solutions for monitoring structural integrity. Equipped with high-resolution cameras, LiDAR, and thermal imaging, aerial and underwater drones can detect cracks, leaks, erosion, and other potential issues without requiring divers or manual inspections in hazardous environments. Aerial drones capture detailed surface images of dam walls, spillways, and surrounding areas, while underwater drones inspect submerged structures, gates, and intake systems with precision. Real-time data transmission, AI-powered analysis, and remote operation enhance efficiency, ensuring proactive maintenance and reducing the risk of structural failures in dams.
