Drone-Powered Thermal Roof Inspections
Drone-powered thermal roof inspections deliver insights that enable our clients to better control costs, improve safety, reduce energy waste, and extend the useful life of their assets. Our approach leverages proven technology to improve upon traditional inspection methods, which are often ineffective and expensive, resulting in the most cost-effective way to accurately assess the condition of these assets on a regular basis.

EagleHawk is the better option.
By utilizing drone technology, EagleHawk is able to perform roof inspections unlike ever before. Drone-enabled inspections are safer, faster, easier, more affordable, and provide better data.
Traditional inspections that involve an inspector walking the roof with a handheld thermal imager present safety concerns. In addition, the camera’s close proximity to the roof does not allow for the right perspective to capture the condition of the entire roof in a single image. Roof-walk inspections are very expensive on a large-scale project or with projects consisting of multiple roofs or buildings.
Aerial-based inspections with traditional aircraft can more affordably inspect several roofs at a large-scale project with the correct perspective to provide an entire roof image. However, large aerial platforms lack the flexibility to intimately inspect roofs one-at-a-time like an inspector would, and are not cost-efficient for roof scans in small numbers.
Drone-enabled inspections provide the aerial perspective to capture better data and offer the flexibility to intimately inspect individual buildings. This inspection method is a more affordable option for both small and large-scale inspections. As part of EagleHawk’s inspection services, clients receive both visual and thermal imaging and data so facility managers can better evaluate and manage any issues or areas of concern.
