Drone aerial thermal imaging in Bastia

Free quote — aerial thermal imaging in Bastia

Sea humidity complicates thermal readings: in Bastia, our thermographers fly at hours when the temperature contrast is clear, separating real heat loss from the effects of the Mediterranean. Radiometric report usable for works and grants. From the town centre to the business parks, the pilots covering Bastia and its department (2B) match equipment and flight plan to each order.

Corsica's leading port and the island's gateway, Bastia squeezes its amphitheatre-shaped old harbour between the Saint-Jean-Baptiste church and the Genoese citadel of Terra Nova; Saint-Nicolas square, the rooftops of Terra Vecchia and the Cap Corse road make up the rest of the scenery. Bastia-Poretta airport (LFKB) lies 16 km south in the plain, but its CTR runs up the coastline: checks are required for any flight south of the city. The commercial port, vital to the island's supply chain, is a sensitive site. Bastia's economy rests on the port (France's leading international passenger port, serving Italy and the mainland), commerce, the Haute-Corse administration and food production (clementines, nearby Patrimonio wines).

Frequently asked questions

Aerial thermal imaging in Bastia: what budget should you plan?

When is the best time for thermography in Bastia?

Heating season, October to March: you need at least a 10 °C gap between inside and outside for meaningful readings. In Bastia (Corse), winter dawn slots give the best contrast; for photovoltaics it is the opposite — full summer sun.

How much solar capacity can be inspected in one day?

An automated flight covers 10 to 20 MWp per day depending on the plant layout, with automatic hot-spot detection and each faulty module located by its coordinates.
