Tower Inspections

Telecom Tower Inspections with 3D Models (TA-3D)

Contact Us

Utility and telco professionals have some of the most widely distributed and remote assets to build, maintain and repair. Compounded by complex infrastructure sharing arrangements, keeping accurate and up-to-date information on every location they manage is time-consuming, labour-intensive and costly, and often requires physical site inspections.

Even the most rigorous inspections can miss important details or miscommunicate data, resulting in decisions that can be costly or risky.

By combining artificial intelligence analytics with drone-captured data, Flyby Guys helps infrastructure owners manage their assets better with fast, accurate, independent tower assessments.

Automated As-Built

  • Automated object recognition identifies individual equipment
  • Each asset is fully characterised by classification, position and dimensions
  • Combines machine learning and reality modelling
  • Continuous learning features improve detection over time
  • Produce antenna as-built reports with survey-level accuracy

Condition Assessment

  • Artificial intelligence analytics that exceed traditional manual inspections
  • Machine learning algorithms identify, catalogue and track corrosion for longitudinal studies
  • Populate automated reports and share them instantly with stakeholders
  • Perform accurate online measurements of member lengths, cable runs or any area of interest
  • Visualise access tracks, hut placement or encroaching vegetation

RF Hazard Assessment

Simulate the spatial distribution of electromagnetic fields (EME) within an interactive 3D environment.

Identify exclusion zones and measure distances. Perform site inspections and share reports with stakeholders. Exceed compliance expectations and improve transparency and trust.

Tower inspection FAQs

What is Tower Assessment 3D (TA-3D)?
A drone-captured 3D model of a telecom or utility tower, combined with AI analytics for as-built records, condition assessment and RF hazard assessment.

What does the as-built report include?
Automated object recognition identifies each piece of equipment and records its classification, position and dimensions, so antenna as-built reports reach survey-level accuracy.

Can it track corrosion over time?
Yes. Machine learning identifies and catalogues corrosion so it can be tracked across repeat inspections.

How does the RF hazard assessment work?
The 3D environment simulates the spread of electromagnetic fields around the antennas, so you can identify exclusion zones and measure distances safely.
