What Are Drone Surveys?



In recent years, drones have undoubtedly transformed the way many businesses operate on a day to day basis, revolutionising and reshaping the landscape of various sectors. These unmanned aerial vehicles have become an indispensable tool for businesses, helping them increase efficiency, streamline operations, capture accurate and real-time data, and optimise services across a wide range of industries.

Drones also offer unique opportunities for businesses to optimise services and provide enhanced customer experiences. In sectors such as agriculture, drones can be used for crop monitoring, disease detection, and precision spraying, leading to increased yields and improved crop management. In the logistics industry, drones can expedite and automate the delivery process, allowing for faster, more efficient, and environmentally friendly transport of goods.


Furthermore, drones have found applications in areas such as disaster management, infrastructure inspection, and environmental monitoring. They can be deployed quickly to assess the extent of damage during natural disasters, conduct inspections of bridges, buildings, and pipelines, and monitor wildlife populations and environmental changes. The use of drones in these fields not only improves safety and time efficiency but also reduces costs and provides valuable insights for better planning and decision-making.


In conclusion, drones have become an indispensable tool for businesses across various sectors, offering unparalleled efficiency, data collection, and service optimization. With continuous advancements in technology, drones are poised to play an even more significant role in shaping the future of industries,


Drones are a great way of completing Aerial Inspections in a wide range of onshore and offshore environments, with ground piloted UAV's able to inspect one wind turbine in as little as 15 to 30 minutes - reducing man-hours and turbine downtime for maintenance checks by over 75%!

Steeplejack Services: A Glimpse into the Evolution of an Iconic Trade The world of steeplejacks is one of skill, precision, and bravery. These highly trained professionals have been scaling and maintaining some of the most iconic and tall structures around the world, from churches and towers to industrial chimneys and bridges. Though the term “steeplejack” may conjure images of Victorian-era workers perched on church steeples, and the very little health and safety that went with the times, the role has evolved significantly over the centuries. In this blog, we’ll explore the history of steeplejack services, the key steeplejack companies offering these services today, and how modern rope access technicians have become a natural evolution of this trade due to safety. What Are Steeplejack Services? Steeplejack services are highly specialised and involve the maintenance, repair, and construction of tall structures, typically those that are hard to access without specialised equipment. This includes everything from historical church steeples and clock towers to industrial chimneys, bridge spans, and communication towers. The steeplejack’s job requires a mix of climbing expertise, technical know-how, and often, a deep understanding of architecture, engineering, and conservation. The essence of steeplejack services is about scaling heights safely and efficiently. Traditionally, steeplejacks relied on ladders, scaffolding, and ropes to reach their work areas. However, with advancements in technology and safety practices, modern steeplejacks use a combination of rope access techniques and more sophisticated tools nowadays. The Origins of Steeplejacks The term “ steeplejack ” dates back to the 17th century when workers in the UK began climbing tall structures like church steeples to carry out repairs and maintenance. These early steeplejacks were skilled craftsmen who used rudimentary tools to perform delicate and dangerous tasks, including painting, masonry, and even lightning rod installation. During the Victorian era, steeplejacks were highly regarded for their daring feats and expert craftsmanship. They became a prominent part of the building and construction industry, particularly as industrialisation saw an increase in the number of tall buildings, chimneys, and other structures that required regular upkeep. However, despite their importance, steeplejacks faced significant risks. Without modern safety equipment or proper protective gear, these workers were exposed to life-threatening dangers. Accidents were common, and the job required a level of physical strength and mental fortitude that only the most skilled and brave could handle. The Transition to Modern Steeplejack Services The 20th century saw many advancements in construction and engineering, and the role of the steeplejack began to evolve. The traditional methods of scaling tall structures with ladders and scaffolding gave way to more modern techniques, such as rope access . While the core of steeplejack services remains the same – working at height to maintain and repair structures – the tools and methods have become far more advanced and safer with the introduction of the Working at Height Regulations in 2005 by the UK Government. Rope Access Technicians: The New Steeplejacks The development of rope access techniques revolutionised the steeplejack profession. Rope access allows workers to scale buildings and structures using ropes, harnesses, and other climbing equipment, significantly reducing the need for scaffolding or ladders. This method has proven to be not only safer but also more effective and cost-effective for many types of jobs at height. Today’s rope access technicians are highly trained professionals who can reach difficult-to-access locations using minimal equipment. They undergo rigorous training that includes climbing, rope handling, and rescue techniques, and they are equipped with the latest technology to ensure their safety. Rope access also offers a high degree of versatility. Whether it’s for a routine inspection, cleaning, or repairing a delicate feature on a church steeple or maintaining an industrial chimney, rope access allows for quick mobilisation and reduced downtime for the client. Steeplejack Companies: Leading the Charge in Modern Heights Several companies today specialise in steeplejack services, offering everything from basic maintenance to more complex structural repairs. These steeplejack companies like Dangle , have embraced modern rope access techniques, making them a go-to solution for clients who need reliable, cost-effective services without compromising on safety or quality. How to Choose the Right Steeplejack Company Selecting the right steeplejack company is critical, particularly for challenging and high-risk projects. Here are a few key factors to consider when choosing a company: 1. Experience and Reputation: It’s essential to select a company with proven experience in steeplejack services. Established companies will have a track record of successful projects and will be able to provide testimonials and case studies. Look for companies that have been in the business for several years and have built a solid reputation for delivering high-quality results. 2. Qualifications and Safety: Rope access is not a job for the unqualified, and safety is paramount. Ensure that the company employs technicians with the correct qualifications, such as IRATA (Industrial Rope Access Trade Association) certification or other relevant training. Safety measures should always be a priority, with technicians trained in rescue procedures and working at height regulations. 3. Range of Services: Depending on your needs, it’s essential to choose a steeplejack company that offers a broad range of services, from routine inspections and cleaning to emergency repairs. Companies that are versatile in their offerings can handle all aspects of maintenance and restoration, providing a comprehensive service that meets your unique requirements. 4. Insurance and Liability: Given the inherent risks involved in working at height, ensure that the company is fully insured. This includes public liability insurance and employee insurance to protect both you and the workers. A reputable company will be happy to provide proof of their insurance. 5. Technology and Equipment: Modern steeplejack companies use the latest equipment and technology to ensure that their workers can perform tasks with greater efficiency and safety. Look for companies that invest in up-to-date tools, such as drones for inspections, advanced climbing gear like Petzl , and modern scaffolding equipment. The Future of Steeplejack Services: Rope Access and Beyond As technology continues to evolve, so too will the role of steeplejack services. While rope access is currently the dominant method for working at height, we can expect future innovations to further transform the industry. For example, drones are already being used for building inspections, and in the near future, they may be employed to perform remote repairs or even carry out detailed structural assessments. In addition to technological advancements, the demand for sustainable and eco-friendly practices is on the rise. Steeplejack services can be more environmentally conscious, with a greater emphasis on reducing carbon footprints, using green materials, and following energy-efficient processes than heavy industrial cranes or dirty diesel powered access. The Importance of Steeplejack Services in Building Conservation One significant area where modern steeplejack companies are making a considerable impact is in the conservation of historical buildings. Many of the iconic steeplejacks of the past worked on religious or civic buildings in Scotland, and their expertise was crucial in preserving the integrity of these structures. Today, the preservation of heritage buildings continues to be an essential part of steeplejack services. Modern steeplejack companies specialising in building conservation work closely with architects, engineers, and conservationists to ensure that their methods are sympathetic to the building’s original materials and design. Whether it’s restoring a Victorian church tower or repairing an ancient bridge, these professionals have the skill and knowledge to maintain the character and integrity of the building. Steeplejack Services in the Modern Era: Beyond Maintenance Today, steeplejack services are about more than just routine maintenance. These services still help a wide range of industries, including telecommunications, renewable energy, and industrial construction. Steeplejacks are often called upon to maintain or install communication towers, wind turbines, and oil rigs, where traditional scaffolding is impractical. Their ability to work at height with minimal disruption to operations makes them indispensable in today’s fast-paced industrial world. The Enduring Legacy of Steeplejacks Steeplejack services have come a long way since their origins centuries ago. What began as a high-risk, highly specialised job requiring a great deal of skill and bravery has evolved into a modern profession that blends traditional expertise with cutting-edge technology. Today’s steeplejacks, whether they are scaling church spires or industrial chimneys, continue to play a vital role in maintaining and preserving the structures that are essential to our world. As the trade continues to evolve, steeplejack companies and rope access companies are well-positioned to meet the growing demands of the modern world, from industrial applications to heritage conservation. With a focus on safety, precision, and innovation, the future of steeplejack services looks as secure as the structures these professionals maintain. When looking for the best steeplejack companies, ensure that you partner with a reliable, experienced team that understands the complexities of working at height, like Dangle .
