Helicopter Survey
Helicentre registered trade product Helisurvey®
is proven in most industries, using twin engined helicopters
for optimum safety and stability, using the latest dual sensor
camera systems. Our team of cameramen/technicians combine with
our studio and remote location vehicle to give excellent
results for all of our survey requirements.
Helicentre own and operate heavily modified Land Rover
vehicles, designed from the outset to work in partnership with
our helicopters and camera systems. They are fitted with all
the necessary communications systems to command and control
various operations from general surveys to major incidents. To
the casual observer our vehicle looks the same as any other,
they still seat 4 adult passengers plus driver, in comfort,
whilst carrying all of the technology.
During operations the vehicles are parked within a 20 mile*
radius of the operating helicopter, where they can receive
real-time broadcast quality images from the camera mounted on
the helicopter. Viewing the received images in this way saves
valuable time and money and allows the right people to see at
first hand the extent of any problem. Thanks to the two way
communication with the helicopter, the camera operator can
receive instruction on exactly what to look at. The received
images are displayed on screens inside the vehicle together
with a moving map display of helicopter position. All of this
information is captured digitally and can even be edited via
the on-board edit suite, then mastered to digital tape or DVD
for immediate use.
At a moments notice the vehicle can move or travel to a new
location thanks to the GPS microwave tracking system which
ensures data reception from the helicopter.
Maintenance Survey
500 miles
per day can be surveyed including embankment fences etc. Many
potential problems can be prevented if reported in time. Using
Helisurvey® system helps reduce time and cost.
Thermal
Fault Detection
Detection
of thermal hotspots on overhead lines & other cables
indicating higher than normal current flow. Up to 40 miles per
hour coverage depending on equipment density & number of
defects
Railway
Point Heater Survey
Thermal
imaging survey of point heaters to determine operation status.
Can be carried out by switching all heaters on manually or by
flying when temperatures are low enough for heaters to
operate.
Asset
Survey
Video
recording using Gyro stabilised, high magnification video
camers flying at around 50 knots to record, with GPS, valuable
assets and at the same time give an update of their condition.
Ideal for line side fencing, vegetation and scrap surveys
covering up to sixty route miles per hour.
Detailed Survey
Lower
speed survey from 500ft again using the gyro-stabilised camera
& offering highly detailed video footage of
assets.
Trespass & Vandalism
Using
modern day surveillance applications utilising thermal imaging
techniques can detect the smallest of objects at distance. On
board camera will record the operation and deliver vital
evidence which could ultimately result in
prosecutions.
- Helisurvey® can provide cost effectivity with safety
and efficiency for all your needs.
- The
system has been designed to be used in the railway industry,
achieving excellent results, but can be used in most
industries.
- Maximising the efficiency of the system saves
valuable time, improving performance results.
- Using
the latest camera technology with integrated GPS,
information can be passed from the air to ground personnel
using our fleet of mobile incident vehicles complete with
microwave link. In urgent cases, the helicopter can land and
deal with the problem immediately.
- Both
infared and daylight survey equipment are carried in
addition to a highly trained observer to locate and record,
with voice annotation, what is seen from the air using
VHS,CD,DVD or still photography
- Whether
flying the line for Maintenance or Asset Management
Helisurvey® is the quickest, most cost effective way to
improve results.
- Health,
safety and risk management can be improved by working from
the air.
