Drone IR Thermography

Some faults don't show up until you look with the right eyes. Terren's drone-mounted infrared inspections catch heat anomalies on tanks, pipelines and plant structures that a ground walkthrough simply can't see.

01

Overview

Thermal insight that ground inspection alone can't provide.

Sending someone up a tank or across a rooftop to inspect for defects is slow and, more often than it should be, risky. Terren's drones combine standard visual footage with infrared imaging to flag hotspots, thermal irregularities and early-stage faults across hard-to-reach industrial assets — turning a manual, high-risk inspection into a faster, safer, better-documented one. This includes solar farm and solar panel inspection, where thermal imaging quickly identifies underperforming cells and hot spots that cut into energy output. Our thermography teams regularly work across Jubail and Yanbu's petrochemical and industrial complexes, along with plant, facility and solar site inspections in Riyadh, Dammam and Jeddah.

Technical Method

From aerial capture to actionable inspection findings.

Aerial Visual Review

Drone-based RGB imagery supports safe review of difficult-access areas, plant structures, roofs, tanks, pipelines and project assets.

Thermal Data Capture

Infrared imagery supports identification of heat patterns, hotspots, abnormal thermal signatures and inspection priorities.

Finding Registration

Visible and thermal observations can be organized with location references, image notes and severity grouping for project teams.

Inspection Reporting

Inspection findings are prepared into practical reporting outputs that support maintenance, asset review and project decision-making.
