Calibre Props: Advanced Thermal & Visual Asset Inspection
Calibre Props provides drone-based non-destructive testing and inspection services that combine high-resolution visual and thermal imagery with expert engineering analysis.
Core Technology and Approach
Unlike traditional or purely AI-driven methods, Calibre Props focuses on verified, contextualized, and measurable insight, with engineers defining what the data means, prioritizing accuracy over quantity. The key advantage is thermal analysis, which translates temperature differentials into actionable data to reveal hidden issues beneath the surface that are invisible to the eye. This approach is not driven by assumptions; it represents integrity and truth, confirming when a building performs perfectly just as much as when it has faults.
Key Benefits & Outcomes
The service delivers powerful, measurable impact, resulting in:
- Cost Savings: Targeted maintenance prevents unnecessary repairs, leading to up to 70% lower total cost compared to traditional methods that require lifts or scaffolding.
- Energy and CO2 Reduction: Inspections detect hidden losses, resulting in savings of 1,000–100,000 kWh saved annually per building. This is equivalent to several tons of CO2 reduction per year. The method itself is climate-positive, generating less than 1kg CO2 per inspection.
- Risk Mitigation: Early detection of issues like loose facade material or structural corrosion prevents major accidents and costly failures, extending the service life of assets.
Sectors and Materials
Calibre Props' solution works consistently across all major building categories worldwide, applying to:
- Sectors: Commercial offices, Residential complexes, Industrial halls, Logistics centers, Hospitals, Schools, Bridges, and Wind turbines.
- Specialized Assets: Solar farms and rooftop PV systems.
- Materials: Concrete, brick, steel, timber, and composite materials, capturing both visible and invisible deviations.
The service ensures safety compliance and provides a clear link between technical condition and actual performance.
