Case Study: DR1 Group cuts ballast tank inspection downtime by 80% with Flyability's Elios 2

DR1 Group cuts drilling rig inspection downtime by 80% with Flyability

DR1 Group, a company performing inspections for a shipyard in Brazil, faced the challenge of conducting dangerous and costly ballast tank inspections on a drilling rig. Their traditional method using rope access was unsafe and caused significant rig downtime. They approached Flyability to test a drone-based solution using the Elios 2.

Flyability's solution involved using the Elios 2 drone to safely inspect the confined spaces inside the rig's ballast tanks. This approach eliminated the need for human entry and work on ropes. The results were significant, with Flyability's technology helping to reduce inspection downtime by 80%, cutting the time from five days to one, and achieving a 60% cost reduction for the client.
