Frequently Asked Questions
What does drone thermal camera imaging mean?
Drone thermal imaging uses an infrared camera to measure the surface temperature of a target and produce a thermal image that reveals heat leaks, moisture damage, and structural anomalies that are invisible to the naked eye.
Where does SK Drones offer thermal imaging?
We provide drone thermal imaging across Finland. We have pilots in Helsinki, Tampere, Jyväskylä and Oulu, and we also carry out projects outside these cities as well as within the EU when needed.
Who is drone thermal imaging suitable for?
The service is especially suited for the construction and property management sector for inspecting roofs, walls and structures, the energy sector for monitoring solar panels and wind turbines and detecting faults, search and rescue operations in hard-to-reach areas, and environmental monitoring.
What can thermal imaging detect?
Thermal imaging can detect heat leaks, moisture and water damage, structural defects, faulty solar panels or other equipment, and deviations in a building’s energy efficiency.
When is thermal imaging worth doing?
The best results are usually achieved when there is a clear temperature difference between the target and its surroundings – for example at dawn or dusk, or during seasons when temperature differences are more pronounced.
What are the benefits of drone thermal imaging compared to traditional inspection methods?
Compared with traditional, often manual inspections, drone thermal imaging is faster, safer for hard-to-reach or high locations, and produces accurate, documented data to support decision-making – while also reducing the need for manual labor and therefore costs.
How long does a thermal imaging project take?
The flight itself usually takes a few hours to a day depending on the size of the site, and the analyzed report is typically delivered within a few business days of the flight.
How much does drone thermal imaging cost?
Pricing depends on the size and location of the site and the scope of analysis required. We always provide a free, project-specific quote before starting.
Does SK Drones have the necessary permits for thermal imaging?
Yes. SK Drones has operated under Traficom’s Specific Category authorization (SORA methodology) since 2018, allowing safe and compliant flight operations even in more demanding locations.
