Professional aerial & thermal inspections - Australia wide and Offshore.
ABS Drones and Thermal Imaging delivers professional aerial, radiometric thermal and ground-based inspection services across Australia and offshore. We combine advanced UAV technology with qualified thermographic expertise to provide reliable, actionable inspection data where safety, compliance and asset performance matter. Our inspections help identify anomalies that conventional visual inspections may miss, including thermal hotspots, electrical abnormalities, moisture and water ingress, structural defects and asset deterioration. Our capabilities include solar PV and wind turbine inspections, industrial and infrastructure inspections, aerial mapping and surveying, agricultural and environmental monitoring, insurance investigations, search and rescue and emergency response support. Qualified technology. Expert interpretation. Actionable results. Unlike many drone operators, ABS combines CASA-qualified UAV operations with Level 2 IPI Thermographers, ensuring radiometric thermal data is professionally interpreted rather than simply captured. From utility-scale renewable energy assets and remote industrial sites to specialist and emergency deployments, ABS provides integrated aerial and thermal inspection solutions designed to support informed decisions, reduce risk and improve asset reliability.
Accurate data from the air and ground
ABS Drones and Thermal Imaging delivers precise inspection data that reveals what the naked eye can't see. We identify structural issues, electrical faults, mechanical defects, water ingress, and thermal anomalies across your assets.
Aerial solar inspections
IEC TS 62446-3 aligned | Level 2 IPI Thermographers | Radiometric Thermal + RGB Imaging Spot PV faults before they become costly failures. Our UAV inspections combine radiometric thermal imaging with high-resolution RGB to identify hotspots, diode faults, string abnormalities, connection issues and other thermal anomalies — from residential arrays to utility-scale solar farms. Methodology aligned with IEC TS 62446-3:2017, delivering technically interpreted data to support preventive maintenance, warranty claims, asset management and technical reporting.
Irrigation and leak detection
Radiometric thermal imaging helps identify irrigation leaks, irregularities and potential water loss, allowing targeted investigation and helping primary producers reduce water waste and optimise irrigation efficiency.
Industrial infrastructure
Thermal and visual inspections for electrical, mechanical and structural assets. Identify abnormal conditions early, reduce unplanned downtime and support preventative maintenance across industrial and commercial sites.
Environmental Monitoring
Aerial, thermal and visual monitoring for wildlife assessment, pest surveillance and environmental compliance, including fire ant detection, waterway monitoring and habitat assessment. High-resolution thermal and RGB imaging enables efficient broad-area surveys and targeted inspections, providing data-driven intelligence for government agencies, land managers and environmental consultants.
Wind Turbines
Australia-wide thermal and visual wind turbine inspections combining UAV technology with Level 2 IPI Thermography to identify thermal anomalies, blade defects and other potential asset issues, supporting preventative maintenance, asset reliability and reduced downtime.
Damage inspections and Insurance reporting
Thermal and aerial inspections for storm and hail damage assessments, insurance reporting and structural condition assessment. High-resolution RGB and radiometric thermal imaging provides documented evidence to support insurance claims, renewals and asset assessments.
2D & 3D Mapping
High-resolution 2D and 3D aerial mapping for, site analysis, asset management and project planning.

ABS Drones and Thermal Imaging combines high-resolution aerial and radiometric thermal imaging with qualified expertise to identify potential issues early — providing actionable data for maintenance, compliance and asset management.
±2°C or 2%
Temperate accuracy
Infrared thermography provides a powerful diagnostic tool for identifying thermal anomalies that may not be visible to the naked eye. Our radiometric thermal cameras provide measurement accuracy of up to ±2°C or ±2% under specified conditions, with results interpreted by qualified Level 2 IPI Thermographers.
