In today’s building maintenance landscape, façade inspection using drones has become an innovative solution that revolutionizes how we assess building exteriors—especially for high-rise and heritage structures.
At Structural Repairs (M) Sdn Bhd, we utilize drone technology to improve inspection safety, speed, and accuracy for property owners, consultants, and facility managers across Malaysia.
🚁Why Drone Façade Inspections?
Conventional techniques like scaffolding and gondolas are time-consuming, dangerous, and labor-intensive. Drones offer a modern alternative that brings several advantages:
✅Key Benefits:
- Safety: No need for workers to be suspended at dangerous heights.
- Speed: Entire building facades can be scanned in hours, not days.
- Cost-Efficient: Reduces labour, setup, and access equipment costs.
- High-Resolution Imaging: Captures detailed visuals for crack mapping, spalling concrete, stains, and displacements.
- Non-Intrusive: Minimal disruption to building occupants and operations.
🧱Common Issues Detected by Drone Façade Inspections
Our drone inspections help identify:
- Cracks and hairline fractures
- Spalling concrete and exposed reinforcement
- Water ingress and damp patches
- Delaminated tiles or cladding
- Stains and efflorescence
- Potential falling hazards (loose plaster, tiles)
📍How It Works
- Site Assessment & Flight Planning
We evaluate the site to design safe and compliant drone flight paths.
- Drone Survey Execution
The façade is captured in high-definition photos and videos by our certified drone operators.
- Data Processing & Reporting
Using photogrammetry and AI tools, we analyze and generate condition reports with defect mapping and recommendations.
- Follow-Up
Structural engineers interpret the results and recommend repair or maintenance action based on findings.
🏛️Ideal for All Types of Buildings
- Commercial High-Rises
- Condominiums & Apartments
- Hospitals & Schools
- Heritage Buildings
- Government Offices
We recently deployed drone inspection for several historical and public buildings where traditional access was restricted or impractical.
