Internal inspection of ACC air supply ducting recently completed within a biomass facility using the Flyability Elios 3 confined space drone.

The ducting formed part of the air supply system feeding the site’s Air Cooled Condenser infrastructure and required internal visual assessment to review overall condition and identify any signs of deterioration, contamination, or airflow restriction.

Using the Elios 3 platform allowed us to safely navigate the internal ductwork and deliver high resolution visual inspection data without the need for confined space entry, scaffold access, or prolonged operational disruption.

Traditional inspection methods for assets such as these can involve significant planning, isolation procedures, access requirements, and increased safety exposure for personnel. Drone technology provides a far more efficient and safer alternative while still delivering detailed inspection intelligence to support maintenance planning and asset integrity programmes.

Applications such as this continue to demonstrate the growing value of confined space drone technology across the biomass, Energy from Waste, and wider power generation sectors.

Key benefits of the inspection included:

• No confined space entry required• Rapid deployment and minimal downtime• High resolution visual inspection data• Safe access to restricted internal infrastructure• Improved maintenance planning and asset visibility
