Groote Eylandt inspections

Client: HK Solutions | GEMCO (South32)


Rise was contracted by HK Solutions to undertake 319 aerial UAV drone inspections of the GEMCO accommodation on Groote Eylandt – an island approximately 650kms from Darwin.

The inspections included condition assessment rating, aerial roof images and external surface images. All images and assessment data were collected in the clients custom app. on site, and the data quality checked each night. 


A key consideration of the project was the need for the aerial drones to be continuously flying up to 10 hours a day for up to 6 consecutive days in the tropical heat, with no servicing facilities available in the location. This required extensive logistical planning to ensure the equipment did not overheat; battery and charging management and heat mitigation strategies for the pilots. 


The 319 aerial drone inspections were completed over 2 trips form Darwin, in a total of 10 days with no equipment failure or pilot fatigue.

We are so proud to have our investment into the development of a tropical bathymetric USV (unmanned service vehicle) secure matched funding from Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre Ltd. Current wastewater survey methods are often not fit-for-purpose for the waste water conditions in tropical Northern Australia - high debris loads and organic matter.
