The challenge
Powerlines, pipelines, and telecom infrastructure require strict safety processes, controlled airspace management, and detailed maintenance traceability.
Drone inspections often take place across distributed sites, linear corridors, and sensitive environments where mistakes can cause disruption or risk.
Drone teams operating in utilities and energy commonly face:
- Frequent inspections in controlled or sensitive airspace.
- Complex hazards around live infrastructure and access constraints.
- The need for accurate flight logs to support asset lifecycle and maintenance planning.
- Pressure to minimise downtime and disruption to critical services.
The solution
heliguy.io supports utilities and critical infrastructure drone teams with a structured, compliance-first inspection workflow.
heliguy.io enables teams to:
- Generate hazard-aware RAMS to identify site-specific risks before deployment.
- Receive live weather and NOTAM alerts to avoid unexpected downtime and inspection delays.
- Operate offline in remote locations, supporting inspections across rural or undeveloped sites.
- Automatically capture flight logs for asset lifecycle reporting and maintenance records.
- Apply standardised inspection templates to ensure consistent data capture across sites and teams.
Result
With heliguy.io, utilities and energy inspection teams can:
- Improve inspection quality and consistency across assets.
- Operate more safely with fewer manual steps and reduced human error.
- Maintain traceable flight logs to support maintenance planning and asset management.
- Reduce setup time for repeat inspections across multiple locations.
- Strengthen compliance and audit readiness across inspection programmes.
