The Hidden Cost of Conventional Inspection Methods

Traditional methods of inspection place people at risk. Scaffolding, rope access and manual surveys expose teams to heights, confined spaces and dangerous environments. They also close down operations, delay projects and provide inconsistent data.

Drone based aerial inspections delivered by Gulfnet remove these risks. They offer a quicker turnaround, centimeter-level accuracy and full visual documentation, all without stopping production and compromising safety.

Gulfnet specializes in industrial-grade drone inspections across the Middle East, supporting energy, infrastructure, and utilities sectors, with certified pilots, advanced sensors and proven delivery.

Complete Visual Intelligence for Critical Assets

External Inspections

Gulfnet drones perform thorough aerial surveys of industrial assets and infrastructure, acquiring high-resolution visual data while your operations remain functional and your personnel remain safely on the ground.

  • 48x zoom 4K imaging for defect identification
  • Sub-millimeter defect detection using advanced optical sensors
  • Detailed reporting with geo tagged imagery
  • Real time data capture for maintenance and engineering team

Confined Space Inspections

Our drones navigate tanks, vessels, silos, and enclosed structures where human entry is dangerous or impractical and provide clear visual imagery of confined spaces.

  • 360-degree internal coverage (HD video & stills)
  • Automated AI analysis for corrosion and defect detection
  • Reduced inspection time from days to hours
  • 4K and thermal visuals to assess the structure on the inside

Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UT Scans)

We use drone-mounted UT sensors for measurements of wall thickness and loss of materials across pipelines, pressure vessels and storage tanks, whilst they are in use and under pressure.

  • Non contact corrosion mapping without surface preparation
  • Accurate thickness measurements for risk assessment
  • Real-time UT readings synched to digital dashboards
  • Integration with asset integrity and compliance systems

Thermal Inspection

Using infrared imaging, our drones detect heat loss, electrical faults and insulation failures, and mechanical inefficiencies across facilities, helping you prevent failures before they become a problem.

  • Early detection of overheating components and energy waste
  • Identification of leakages and electrical overloads
  • Predictive maintenance – infrared temperature mapping
  • Comprehensive thermal analysis reports

Facade Inspection

Our drones can be used to inspect building exteriors, cladding systems, and glass facades for cracks, water ingress, and structural concerns, providing assessments without using cranes or suspended platforms.

  • Rapid surveys of high rise and commercial properties
  • 3D modeling and annotation for repair planning
  • Audit ready reports that meeting regulatory inspection requirements
  • Crack and deformation analysis through AI

Gulfnet Insight® – Turning Inspection Data Into Actionable Insights

Inspection flights capture the data. Gulfnet Insight® delivers the answers.

image

Every single inspection produces thousands of images, videos, and data points. Gulfnet Insight converts that raw information into something much more valuable. Our cloud-based platform brings every visual, measurement, and finding to a centralized and secure platform. Defects are automatically categorized. Anomalies are flagged. Trends emerge across inspection cycles. And when you need a report for engineering review or regulatory compliance, you get it ready in minutes not days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most inspections are taken care of in a fraction of the time taken by traditional methods. A flare stack or telecom tower inspection that would take days using scaffolding can be done in hours. While the total timeline is dependent on the size of the asset, the complexity and scope of the inspection, our goal is to keep disruption to a minimum and deliver results quickly.

Get in touch with us today for a free consultation and get a clear schedule.

In most cases, no. Our drones are made to inspect live assets – like pipelines that are under pressure, and energized equipment and operational facilities – without power outages or production halts. For confined spaces or some high-risk environments, we will work with your team to find the safest way to go about things with minimum downtime.

Yes. Gulfnet operates with full regulatory compliance across the GCC region. Our pilots are qualified, our equipment complies with industry standards and we liaise with relevant authorities as necessary. We also adhere to your site’s HSE protocols, and we work closely with your safety teams to ensure risk free operations.

Drone inspections are usually 40-70% cheaper than rope access, scaffolding or manned access – and provide a quicker turn around with better data quality. Exact pricing is dependent on asset type, location and complexity of inspection. 

Contact us for a customized proposal depending on your specific needs.

Absolutely. Gulfnet operates across challenging environments such as offshore oil and gas facilities, remote desert infrastructure, refineries, and hazardous industrial areas and more. Our drones are equipped to deal with extreme heat, confined spaces and corrosive atmospheres. We coordinate logistics, site access and safety protocols with your operations team to ensure seamless execution, no matter where the site is located.

All of the inspection data is encrypted and stored on secure, cloud-based servers with role based access controls. Only authorized personnel from your organization will be able to view or download findings. We also sign Non-Disclosure Agreements as a matter of course and adhere to your data governance policies. Gulfnet Insight is designed with enterprise grade security to ensure sensitive asset information is protected at each stage.
