Drone services at sea - AIR PROVENCE

The journey of the Founder of Air Provence

Former pilot of scientific underwater robots (ROV) capable of diving up to 6,000 meters of immersion, Augustin Navarranne’s training at AIR PROVENCE was rigorous, focused on the safety of handling and requiring a capacity for projection, organization and precision piloting.

Trained by IFREMER and GENAVIR experts in piloting machines, MCO, launching and recovering ROVs with the different crews, AIR PROVENCE has solid experience in operations at sea. Our missions were often for scientific purposes: underwater volcanic geology, underwater biology but also technical missions such as the recovery of mobile debris for the DGA, recovery of moorings for example.

Drone inspection at sea

The uses of aerial drones (or other) are multiple both on land and at sea!

Aerial drones can be very useful for missions at sea. They can be equipped with high-resolution cameras, sensors and other surveillance instruments to observe maritime activities, including search and rescue, detection of suspicious or illegal vessels, detection of marine pollution, monitoring of fisheries, etc.

They can be used to inspect ships and offshore oil platforms, performing visual and thermal inspections to detect damage or leaks.

Aerial drones could also be used to deliver supplies, including medicine, food, drinking water and other essential supplies to people on the high seas or on remote islands where access is difficult.

Aerial drones can also be used to monitor coastlines and beaches to detect illegal activities such as illegal fishing, smuggling, pollution, etc.

In short, aerial drones are a versatile tool that can be used to improve the safety and efficiency of operations at sea.

Inspection and modeling of offshore structures by drones (aerial, marine and submarine)

3D modeling of stone or concrete structures, coupled with the creation of digital twins, is revolutionizing the construction and infrastructure management industry. 3D modeling involves creating an accurate three-dimensional representation of a structure using laser surveys, architectural plans, or photogrammetry. This data is used as a basis for creating digital twins, virtual replicas of real structures.

The benefits are multiple: first, better construction management thanks to early error detection, reducing costs and delays. Second, predictive maintenance is greatly improved, as digital twins allow real-time monitoring of the condition of structures, facilitating the early detection of potential problems. In addition, these virtual models can be used to simulate various scenarios to assess the strength of the structure. Finally, they provide comprehensive documentation for asset management and future planning.

In summary, 3D modeling and digital twins optimize the design, construction, maintenance and management of stone or concrete structures, offering an accurate, cost-effective and sustainable approach for the construction and infrastructure industry.

Inspection of OFFSHORE wind turbines at sea

Drones offer several advantages for inspecting wind turbines or other offshore structures.

They reduce inspection costs while eliminating risks for technicians. Since offshore wind turbines are often difficult to access, drones can be deployed quickly from a support vessel. Drones can also fly at great heights to inspect wind turbine blades, the hub, the nacelle and the mast. They can be equipped with high-resolution cameras and specialized sensors (infrared) to inspect wind turbines with great precision and quickly detect defects.

Finally, drones can be used to carry out regular inspections of offshore wind turbines, which helps extend their lifespan by quickly detecting defects and planning repairs.
