Heli-Tele leverages advanced drone technology to deliver precise, reliable building inspections that minimise risk, save time, and enhance accuracy. By combining state-of-the-art navigation and imaging systems, our approach provides greater insight than traditional methods—eliminating the need for costly equipment or dangerous manual work.
Our drones, equipped with extended accuracy RTK GPS and sophisticated collision detection, can safely operate just a few metres from building surfaces or infrastructure. Careful route planning ensures maximum camera coverage and guarantees no hidden detail goes unnoticed. This method captures a comprehensive record of every angle and surface, both external and internal.
Traditional inspections often require scaffolding, cranes, or specialist teams to access hard-to-reach areas. Heli-Tele eliminates these costly and time-consuming methods. Our drones easily navigate confined spaces and elevated locations, capturing detailed imagery that conventional surveyors cannot reach. We also offer indoor 360° photospheres, providing a comprehensive view of structural conditions without the need for cumbersome access solutions.
Captured data is transformed into precise, detailed 3D models of the inspected structures. These models, along with other deliverables, are accessible via the Heli-Tele web portal. This instant online access enables insurance experts to assess properties remotely, often before providing a new policy quote or confirming a renewal.
Heli-Tele maximises the value of collected data by creating a true digital twin of the building. Insurers and decision-makers gain access to a high-resolution, navigable model that captures every detail, from structural features to potential vulnerabilities. This digital approach provides a level of clarity and perspective far beyond standard photography, ensuring risks are thoroughly understood.
Gone are the days of relying solely on ground-based inspections or limited field notes. Heli-Tele empowers assessors to view structures from multiple angles, elevations, and perspectives. Areas once deemed inaccessible are now fully visible, improving the accuracy of risk assessments and enabling informed underwriting decisions.
Heli-Tele’s 3D modelling technology and high-resolution imaging enable underwriters to evaluate both the external and internal aspects of a property. Indoor 360° images reveal building layouts, material conditions, and infrastructure integrity. This comprehensive overview offers a more reliable basis for determining policy terms and identifying potential issues before they escalate into costly problems.
Heli-Tele uses thermal imaging to uncover areas of poor insulation, overheating equipment, or other performance issues that are invisible to the naked eye. By incorporating thermal data collection into our inspection flights, we help insurers identify hidden risks, reduce liability, and provide clients with proactive maintenance or remediation strategies.
With Heli-Tele, points of interest, risks, or notable features can be marked with a single click. Screenshots, imagery, and data points are easily compiled into custom reports, presenting essential information in a clear and concise format. This streamlined workflow accelerates risk assessments, facilitates quick decision-making, and ensures regulatory compliance.
Before every flight, Heli-Tele’s drone teams carry out comprehensive safety checks. They assess potential obstacles, review airspace restrictions, and verify suitable weather conditions. This meticulous approach ensures operations are safe, compliant, and unobtrusive. With advanced onboard systems and careful planning, we deliver exceptional service without ever compromising on safety.
From thermographic surveys and detailed assessments of structural integrity to mapping ground-level surroundings, Heli-Tele tailors its methods to meet each client’s unique needs. Hard-to-reach rooftops, towers, and industrial infrastructure are made accessible. Every flight is followed by in-depth data analysis, producing comprehensive 3D models, thermal maps, or customised reports as required.
In today’s competitive insurance landscape, immediate access to detailed site data is essential. Heli-Tele delivers real-time, high-quality information, enabling underwriters, adjusters, and claims professionals to make swift, informed decisions. By providing visibility into previously inaccessible areas, our service helps teams anticipate issues and recommend timely interventions.
With a deeper understanding of potential risks, underwriters can minimise their reliance on assumptions or disclaimers. Clear, accurate data enables policies to be closely aligned with actual risk conditions, reducing exposure to unexpected liabilities. This level of transparency strengthens trust and fosters stronger relationships between insurers and their clients.
Heli-Tele offers a wide range of deliverables to meet insurers’ needs. Detailed PDF reports and automated video flythroughs showcase key findings and illustrate the true scale of a building’s condition. These media assets provide enhanced clarity, enabling stakeholders to visualise issues and plan effective solutions with greater confidence.
The Heli-Tele archive stores historical imagery and survey data, allowing for swift comparisons between past and current conditions. This invaluable resource aids in verifying claims, resolving disputes, and combating potential fraud. By maintaining a trusted record of building conditions over time, insurers can respond more efficiently and accurately, reinforcing their position in the market.
