Renewable Energy Support Services

Drone Inspections & Marine Surveys for Wind & Solar Projects

At Specialised Drone Services, we provide critical support to Australia’s renewable energy sector with advanced drone technology and experienced marine survey capabilities.

Whether it's overseeing the safe discharge of wind turbine components at port or conducting inspections across vast solar farms, our team helps deliver cleaner energy – safely, efficiently, and with full compliance.

Our marine and aerial operations meet rigorous national standards, with accreditations from both the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).

Wind services include

• Vessel suitability inspections

• Cargo lashing & condition verification

• Route surveys

• Turbine inspections

We’ve become a trusted partner in onshore renewable energy logistics, especially for wind turbine discharge operations. Working alongside freight forwarders and project managers, we oversee both marine and port-side activities to reduce risk and ensure all movements are carried out safely and in line with lift plans and procedures.

Thermography

Thermal cameras, also known as thermal imagers, are advanced devices equipped with sensitive heat sensors capable of detecting minute variations in temperature. By capturing infrared radiation emitted by objects in an environment, they create images that visually represent temperature differences and patterns. This allows for accurate thermal mapping and analysis across a wide range of applications.

Solar Farm Drone Inspections

Large-scale solar installations demand high-efficiency inspection methods. Our drone-based solutions drastically reduce inspection time while increasing the accuracy and consistency of reporting. We use thermal and high-resolution imaging to detect anomalies early, optimise system performance, and reduce downtime.

Solar inspection services include

• Thermal imaging for hotspot detection

• Visual inspections for soiling, damage, and alignment

• Progress tracking for construction and installation phases

• Asset condition reports for O&M teams and owners

• Fast, repeatable survey coverage over large arrays
