Reliable Remote Inspections Done Safely.

About us

Airspection provides reliable and safe drone services for hard-to-reach infrastructure. Our vision is to make remote infrastructure accessible from the air, safely, reliably, and efficiently. We launch our robust drones from accessible locations, navigate to remote infrastructure and hover to perform detailed inspections, aerial surveillance, and last-minute logistics. Our services improve the safety, reliability, and environmental impact of your operations with numerous benefits, including: • Efficient and Low-Carbon Inspections: Faster inspections with minimal environmental footprint. • Empowering Predictive Maintenance: Frequent and consistent inspections for proactive maintenance. • Reliable Access in Tough Weather: Improved access and pre-season inspections. • Rapid Post-Storm or Fault Analysis: Swift assessments after adverse weather events or faults. Our technology is built around durable drones designed to operate long range then hover efficiently in tough weather conditions. At Airspection, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in drone technology. Vision and Values: • Supportive: We foster a supportive environment, helping each other and collaborating on the bigger picture. • Reliable: We do what we say, take ownership, and uphold our responsibilities. • Honest: We believe in transparency and integrity in all our operations. • Forward-Thinking: We stay ahead with innovative, ethical, and sustainable practices. • Proactive: We are passionate, agile, and proactive, anticipating needs and addressing challenges swiftly. At Airspection, our vision extends beyond the offshore wind industry. We aim to apply our expertise to all remote infrastructure, including powerlines, railways, and Search & Rescue operations, setting new standards for safety, reliability, and efficiency.

  • We've had an incredible summer working with Nimisha Bompally, our talented Mechanical Engineering intern, on drone design, manufacturing, and testing. Nimisha excelled in every aspect of her role — from conducting thorough risk assessments to mastering carbon fibre layups. While we're sad to see her go, we're excited about the possibility of collaborating in the future. Wishing her all the best in her next chapter!

    Beng(Hons) Aero-Mechanical Engineering

    I’m thrilled to announce the completion of an amazing summer internship with Airspection, a leading company in providing reliable and safe drone services for hard-to-reach infrastructure. During this internship, I had the chance to dive deep into cutting-edge drone technology and mechanical engineering. My primary project involved designing and developing a custom motor mount, which led me to create a carbon fibre mount using 3D-printed moulds in the workshop. I also gained hands-on experience in: Performance testing calculation to optimize the drone's efficiency Integration of external component Conducting flight risk analysis to ensure safe operations Tackling and improving vibration issues for smoother performance Key highlight: Last week, we successfully conducted a flight test of the drone for endurance testing. I’m incredibly grateful to the Airspection team: Chris Fowler, Matthew McLean and Konstantinos Gkogkalatze.

  • Airspection is collaborating with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to advance safe drone operations offshore!   We’re excited to share a major milestone for Airspection! We’re collaborating with the CAA to develop the next generation of Beyond Visual Line Of Sight (BVLOS) drone operations for offshore wind.   Right now, only a few companies in the UK can fly drones beyond what the pilot can see due to regulations and safety system challenges. We’re determined to change that.   Our focus is on creating scalable BVLOS drone operations that enhance the safety, reliability, and environmental impact of offshore wind farm operations.   We’re proud to be one of only six projects chosen for this important trial, alongside leading companies like Amazon Prime Air, the National Police Air Service and NATS.   Interested in BVLOS drone operations? Get in touch to explore collaboration opportunities and stay connected on our progress! #BVLOS #OffshoreWind

  • Exciting News: We’re moving to a new office! Not so exciting: Carrying all our stuff to the new place. It’s a busy day here as we move into our new shared office space at The Beyond. We’re all super excited about the fresh start and can’t wait to see what’s in store here. Got any good ideas for setting up our new desks? A huge thank you to Chris, Konstantinos, and the Filament STAC - Smart Things Accelerator Centre team.

    Reliable offshore inspection from the safety of shore | The Drones Guy

    Last week, a 20m blade section of a wind turbine disappeared in the North Sea. Which got me thinking... we could help prevent this or find it! So this is a shout out to RWE, if you're still searching for the missing blade, get in touch with us at Airspection, we are happy to lend a hand. About Airspection:  We understand the challenges of offshore wind turbine inspections. Our Shore-Launched drone services eliminate the need for crewed vessels, enabling safe inspections without exposing employees to risk. Our drones operate reliably, unaffected by wave height, and efficiently complete farm-wide inspections within just 1 week.
