Bowman’s inspection services are designed to ensure the safety, reliability and efficiency of critical infrastructure. Compared to traditional methods requiring more resources and manpower for less comprehensive data, our UAV approach is efficient and minimally disruptive, ensuring swift deployment without operational shutdowns.
Whether a pipeline or utility, leveraging UAV technology enables us to quickly identify missing assets, detect broken equipment and pinpoint potential failures with precision. Beyond efficiency, our inspection technology grants access to challenging locations, significantly reducing risks associated with physical fieldwork.
Bowman utilizes Infrared Camera’s Inc. (ICI) and Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) Inspector Plus for pinpointing leaks to within one meter of where they emit from. Additional pipeline inspection capabilities include:
The data produced from Bowman’s utilities inspection are highly detailed, and versatile to use. From planning to inspection, information we collect will allow quick return on investment. Additional utility inspection capabilities include:
Communication is key to a project’s success. We approach each project as a partnership and use a highly collaborative process to ensure that our client is integral to our inspection process. Our team of inspectors can connect with clients and stakeholders virtually in real-time. With no time loss between the site and the office, we can collect accurate data that specifically addresses project goals. Clients are able to determine the level of involvement, from Bowman leading the inspection with minimal guidance to following the client’s virtual guidance from start to finish, our team of inspectors are ready to deliver successful outcomes.
Data collected using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) provides a high level of detail that creates a library of data points for our clients. Additionally, unlike traditional inspection, clients can virtually see and instruct the inspection in real time for clear and error-free inspections.
Manual utility or oil and gas inspection typically requires more equipment and manpower to collect less detailed and less flexible data. Using UAV, inspection becomes much more cost and time-efficient. Inspections often require minimal approval, take as little as a few hours, and require no operational shutdowns.
UAV inspections can help reduce various risks. It allows a physically safer inspection process for the inspectors, minimizes disturbance to the site and surrounding environment, and easily allows access to hard-to-reach locations.
