We recently completed a high-precision stormwater pipeline inspection for AECOM in Christchurch, using our Elios 3 drone equipped with 4K video and LiDAR technology.

The inspection covered:

• 1800mm diameter pipeline

• 1200mm brick egg-shaped pipeline

By utilising drone technology, we eliminated the need for confined space entry or jetting, significantly reducing time, risk, and cost. The Elios 3 provided detailed georeferenced 3D maps and high-quality footage, allowing for comprehensive condition assessments.

✅ 265.69 metres inspected
✅ First-time use of drone tech for design work by Christchurch City Council and AECOM
✅ Data-driven insights enabled a proactive maintenance plan

Our Client praised the quality, speed, and precision of our inspection work. The project was delivered on time, within scope, and with minimal disruption to surrounding infrastructure.
