Who we work with

Every stakeholder. Complete visibility.

Asset owners

Protect your wind energy investment by identifying structural issues and performance losses before they escalate into costly failures.

O&M managers

Get precise, location-specific findings so maintenance resources are deployed exactly where they are needed most.

EPC contractors

Accurate data at every project stage to ensure turbines are built to specification and handed over in full working order.

Investors

Independent, accurate assessment of turbine condition before committing capital or reviewing asset performance.

Insurance providers

Accurate condition data to support underwriting decisions, risk assessments, and claims verification with confidence.

Where we add value

Drone inspection across every stage of your wind energy asset

Wind turbines face unique inspection challenges at every stage of their lifecycle. Dronet Africa provides targeted drone inspection services that address those challenges with precision.

Pre-construction

Site assessment

The challenge

Terrain mapping, wind corridor analysis, and environmental assessments are time-consuming and expensive using traditional methods.

What you get
High-resolution terrain and topographic maps
Wind corridor and obstruction analysis
Environmental condition and access assessment

Construction

Progress tracking

The challenge

Foundation alignment, tower installation, and blade mounting errors are difficult to detect from ground level and expensive to correct after the fact.

What you get
Structural alignment and installation progress reports
Deviations from design specifications identified
Accurate construction documentation

Commissioning

Pre-live verification

The challenge

Manual rope access inspections before go-live are slow, hazardous, and often incomplete, missing surface defects and installation anomalies.

What you get
Full blade and structural inspection report
Defects mapped to specific locations
Commissioning sign-off documentation

Operations and maintenance

Ongoing monitoring

The challenge

Surface erosion, leading edge damage, and structural cracks develop gradually, going undetected until they cause significant performance loss or safety risk.

What you get
Periodic blade and structural inspection reports
Damage mapped to specific blade sections
Trending data to track deterioration over time
The Process

From first contact to final report

Step 1

Project scoping

We understand your turbines, maintenance objectives, and specific concerns before deploying anything.

Step 2

Data collection

Close-range drone inspections of blades, nacelles, and tower structures. No rope access, no turbine shutdown.

Step 3

AI-powered analysis

Surface defects, structural anomalies, and damage patterns identified with consistency and precision.

Step 4

Reporting

Findings mapped to specific blade sections and components, prioritised by severity with clear recommendations.

Why Dronet

We bring more than a drone to every inspection

No rope access. No turbine shutdown

Traditional blade inspections require rope access teams or turbine shutdown, both of which are costly and time-consuming. Our drone inspections access the same areas faster, safer, and without taking your asset offline.

Findings, not footage

We do not deliver imagery and leave you to interpret it. Every engagement ends with a structured report, mapped findings, and prioritised recommendations your team can act on immediately.

Built for African operating conditions

Wind energy projects in Africa face unique environmental and logistical challenges. Our inspection programmes are designed around those realities: from remote site access to the specific stresses that affect turbines in this region.

Stay ahead of blade damage before it costs you
