Inspecting power lines, wind turbines, pipelines, and cell towers is dangerous, specialized work – and drones are changing how it’s done. At Completion Phase, our certified pilots deliver safer, faster, and more detailed inspections without the risks, delays, or high costs of traditional methods.
How We Support the Utilities & Infrastructure Sector
Power Line & Pipeline Inspections
Rather than sending crews to walk miles of pipeline or fly manned helicopters near live power lines, our drones complete inspections in a fraction of the time. Equipped with zoom cameras, thermal imagers, and LiDAR, we can:
- Spot overheating components, gas leaks, and encroaching vegetation from the air.
- Measure power line sag and clearance for compliance.
- Detect anomalies in pipelines through temperature changes or vegetation health.
A single drone can cover vast stretches in hours rather than days, enabling more frequent inspections to prevent costly failures.
Wind Turbine Checks
Climbing turbines is risky, time-consuming, and expensive. Our drones capture high-resolution imagery of blades, nacelles, and tower components from every angle — revealing blade cracks, lightning strikes, or loose bolts without requiring rope teams or bucket trucks.
Cell Tower Inspections
Instead of climbing, our drones safely photograph and 3D model antennas, mounts, and cables, detecting rust, misalignment, or cable damage. This reduces downtime, boosts safety, and supports predictive maintenance by tracking issues over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can drones replace all manual inspections?
A: While some repairs still require physical access, drones handle the majority of inspection work, reducing climbs and increasing safety.
Q: How accurate is drone inspection data?
A: Our drones capture high-resolution, geo-tagged images and sensor data precise enough for compliance reporting and engineering analysis.
Q: Can you inspect in remote or hard-to-reach locations?
A: Yes — drones excel at covering remote areas and tall structures that would otherwise require expensive access methods.
