Detect Leaks and Corrosion
Bridges, dams, railways, pipelines, and even asphalt on busy airport runways need to be inspected. Drone-based hyperspectral imaging collects data over the spectral range you need in order to identify signs of corrosion or leaks while reducing risk to personnel.
All materials degrade over time, and when those materials provide structural integrity for infrastructure such as buildings, dams, towers, bridges, rail, and roads; or provide energy delivery in the form of pipelines and electrical lines, early detection can save lives, as well as money.
Conventional methods of on-site testing can be labor intensive and provide only a glimpse of a wide area. The hope is that one small area accurately represents a much larger area that cannot be economically tested in the same way.
Headwall provides commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) as well as customized hyperspectral imaging (HSI) sensors and turnkey solutions designed for remote sensing over a wide area, and range across the visible and near-infrared spectrum.
