Construction Site Volatile Gas Detection Service
A construction engineering department used drones to detect volatile organic compounds at a construction site, focusing on gas emissions from the site and dump trucks. After the service was completed, the management personnel immediately received a data analysis report, ensuring that the construction site's volatile gases were non-toxic.
Industrial Zone Gas Emission Detection Service
The Environmental Protection Bureau used a drone service solution to focus on detecting gases emitted from chemical plants in industrial zones. Using gas detectors mounted on drones, they quickly detected and analyzed the gas content of the factory chimneys, identified pollutants, established a ledger, and created pollution heat maps.
● Ship Exhaust Gas Detection Service
A maritime bureau monitored ship exhaust gases, monitoring more than ten ships at berth. Through real-time visualization analysis in the backend, it was automatically calculated that the fuel sulfur content of a certain ocean-going vessel exceeded 0.5% m/m, which can be used as a key inspection target for further on-site spot checks and laboratory testing.

● Inspection Object | Current Security Situation
Manual inspection: Poor security effect, low efficiency, high risk
● Manual pipeline walking inspection faces blind spots due to the complex humanistic and geographical environment around the pipeline network;
● Manual pipeline walking inspection is limited by pipeline laying conditions. In typical sections such as river crossings and crossings, steep slopes make manual line inspection difficult, often requiring a detour of 1 to 2 kilometers to inspect a crossing pipeline, or even making it impossible to reach;
● It is difficult to identify geological disaster points during manual inspection. Usually, the manual inspection range is only about 10 meters from the pipeline centerline, while the triggering points of geological disasters often exceed this range.
● Inspection Comparison | Current Security Situation
Characteristics of traditional manual inspection methods:
(1) High cost, low efficiency.
Pipelines are mostly distributed in areas with complex terrain and poor transportation conditions. Traditional manual inspection methods are harsh, have low efficiency, high manpower requirements, long inspection time, and low effectiveness.
(2) Difficult to reach areas with complex terrain.
Because most pipelines are distributed in the wild, usually crossing multiple terrains with poor transportation conditions, traditional manual inspection methods are easily affected by heavy rain and snow, with high manpower requirements, long inspection time.
(3) Personnel safety is difficult to guarantee.
Pipeline routes are complex, such as rivers, swamps, steep slopes, etc., manual inspection is prone to personnel injury accidents.
(4) Lack of data recording in inspection activities.
Manual inspection relies on human eyes and memory, lacks data records, has poor ground photo perspectives, and cannot perform historical review and analysis.
Characteristics of UAV inspection methods:
(1) Low comprehensive cost, high efficiency.
The built-in line protection and redundancy technologies in UAVs make the UAV flight more stable and safe, capable of handling long-distance flight missions of 100 kilometers. UAVs can cruise autonomously, achieving high efficiency; UAVs can carry various payloads, and can be used for multiple purposes based on task characteristics, resulting in low comprehensive costs.
(2) Good observation range, suitable for various complex terrains.
Aerial photography from 200-300 meters above ground by UAVs offers a very good field of vision. Complex terrains such as rivers, swamps, and steep slopes have no impact on UAV flight.
(3) Low HR input.
UAVs have a high degree of automation, enabling one-button take-off and landing and automatic warnings. Personnel only need to observe at the monitoring site, which helps in the rational optimization of HR, reducing employee workload and work-related injury risks.
(4) Full record of inspection data.
UAV inspection images and data are stored in the cloud server, facilitating historical review and big data analysis.
Solution
● Gas pipeline inspection | Conventional inspection mode
Using a leapfrog inspection mode, more than 1000 kilometers of lines can be inspected daily. In mountainous and desert areas without a 4G network, a 2.4G or 5.8G radio image transmission and data transmission link can be used to control the aircraft, greatly improving inspection efficiency. The situation around the pipeline can be viewed daily through the visualization platform. In the absence of a 4G network, the UAV inspection mode generally uses a ground station control system + UAV + high-definition camera + GPS positioning system. Through the UAV ground station system, a flight path is planned above the pipeline. The UAV will automatically fly above the pipeline. During the flight, the high-definition camera will automatically take pictures and record GPS coordinate information. After identifying problems and risks through the photos, the GPS coordinates are located in real-time, allowing for quick arrival at the site.
Thermal imaging leak detection:At night, UAVs can carry thermal imaging cameras to inspect pipeline leaks and patrol areas where holes are drilled for oil theft.
Long-range fixed-wing inspection:The collected high-definition photos have a resolution of up to 36 million pixels, with rich details of ground targets. The photos also include high-precision BeiDou coordinate information, allowing for precise positioning and ranging of risk targets in the photos later on.
