Case Study: Veolia Water improves sewer inspection safety and efficiency with Flyability Elios drones

Veolia Water cuts sewer inspection costs 40% with Flyability

Veolia Water, a leader in water and wastewater treatment, faced significant challenges in inspecting its extensive sewer networks. Traditional methods were dangerous, requiring personnel to enter confined spaces with hazardous gases, and were inefficient, often needing prior cleaning of the pipes. To address this, Veolia partnered with vendor Flyability to utilize its Elios drones for safer and more efficient inspections.

By implementing Flyability's Elios drones, specifically the Elios 3, Veolia eliminated the need for human entry into dangerous sewers. The solution provided high-quality visual and LiDAR data that integrated directly into their geographic information systems. Flyability's technology resulted in a 40% reduction in inspection costs per linear meter and cut inspection time in half, while dramatically improving worker safety.
