Professional aerial and thermal inspections delivered Australia-wide and offshore.
ABS Drones and Thermal Imaging delivers advanced aerial, thermal and ground-based inspection services across Australia and offshore, combining high-resolution drone technology with precision handheld thermal imaging to provide accurate, actionable intelligence where compliance, safety and reliability matter. Operating nationwide with offices in Bundaberg and Caboolture, ABS specialises in identifying critical anomalies and capturing operational data that conventional visual inspections often miss — including thermal hotspots, electrical faults, water ingress, structural defects and asset deterioration. Our capabilities span a broad range of industries and mission-critical applications, including solar farm inspections, wind turbine inspections, aerial mapping and surveying, agricultural monitoring, wildlife monitoring, search and rescue operations, industrial and infrastructure inspections, insurance investigations and emergency response support. Unlike many operators in the field, ABS delivers services backed by Level 2 thermography qualifications and accredited extensive expertise, ensuring thermal data is interpreted correctly and reports are based on verified findings — not assumptions. From large-scale renewable energy assets and remote sites to emergency deployments and specialist inspections, ABS provides reliable aerial and thermal solutions designed to support informed decisions, reduce risk and deliver measurable outcomes.
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 complinat high resolution thermal and RGB imaging to detect hotspots, string failures, diode faults, and performance losses across solar farms and domestic PV systems. Our inspections support preventive maintenance, warranty claims, and compliance reporting.
Irrigation and leak detection
Thermal imaging identifies water loss, and inefficient irrigation zones, helping primary producers reduce waste and improve productivity.
Industrial infrastructure
Thermal and visual inspections for electrical, mechanical, and structural assets. Identify faults early, reduce downtime, and extend equipment life across industrial and commercial sites.
Environmental Monitoring
Precision aerial and thermal monitoring solutions for wildlife assessment, pest surveillance, and environmental compliance — encompassing fire ant detection, waterway monitoring, and habitat evaluation. Engineered for government agencies, land managers, and environmental consultants who demand reliable, data-driven intelligence. Drone platforms integrated with high-resolution thermal imaging technology enable comprehensive scanning of large areas for fire ant and pest activity. Capable of performing both broad area surveys and targeted inspections, our UAV solutions deliver efficient, accurate monitoring of suspected infestation zones.
Wind Turbines
ABS Drones and Thermal Imaging provides rapid Australia-wide deployment for thermal and visual wind turbine inspections, using advanced drone technology and qualified thermography to detect thermal anomalies, blade defects and critical asset issues safely and efficiently.
Damage inspections and Insurance reporting
Precision thermal and drone inspections for storm and hail damage assessments, insurance renewal reporting, and structural analysis — delivered with certified accuracy and high-resolution imagery you can rely on.

ABS Drones and Thermal Imaging delivers accurate thermal and aerial data that identifies problems before they become costly. Our results speak for themselves.
±2°C or 2%
Temperate accuracy
While no technology is absolute, infrared thermal imaging is a far more powerful diagnostic tool than the naked eye for identifying potential anomalies with a measurement accuracy of ±2°C or 2%
90%
Anomaly detection rate
By combining high-resolution drone flight with advanced thermography, we help industrial and commercial facilities reduce maintenance costs by up to 40% and cut unplanned downtime by 50%. Our rapid aerial surveys detect over 90% of thermal anomalies in solar farms, power lines, and roofing systems—areas often invisible or inaccessible from the ground. Protect your bottom line and ensure operational continuity with a non-intrusive, data-driven perspective that pays for itself
48h
Report turnaround
Detailed findings and actionable data delivered quickly so you can make informed decisions fast.
120 - 250 acres per flight
Coverage per flight
Aerial drones cover large areas efficiently. One flight replaces days of ground-level inspection work.
We make inspections easy to understand, with clear images and straightforward answers you can actually use.
ABS Drones and Thermal Imaging started with a simple mission: deliver actionable data for your property and assets. We combine cutting-edge UAV technology with thermal expertise to solve real problems in Bundaberg and beyond.
