What we deliver

Automated drone inspection for wind turbine blades

Our Drone Inspection for Wind Turbine Blades provides fast, accurate and safe blade assessment using automated flight software. The drone captures high-resolution images of all blade surfaces — suction side, pressure side, leading edge and trailing edge — without shutdown or rope access, ensuring consistent inspection quality across the entire wind farm.

Using AI annotation and defect recognition, the system automatically identifies cracks, erosion, delamination, lightning strike marks and surface coating degradation. GC VIVABLAST AUSTRALIA integrates all data into a digital inspection platform, where defects are classified by severity and prioritized for maintenance, enabling better planning and reduced downtime.
