Gas power plants rent drone inspection programs, perimeter cameras, and thermal surveillance from Service Robot Co. Drones inspect stacks, flares, and pipe racks a person should not climb, cameras and thermal masts watch the fence line day and night, and we deploy, integrate, and service every unit across all 50 US states.

No. 02The shift

A shift at your plant

A fenced, critical site with assets a person should not climb. Here is where the coverage automates.

  1. Stage 01

    Elevated inspection

    Stacks, flares, and pipe racks need eyes, and sending a person up is slow and a safety exposure.

    What the robot takes

    A drone flies the assets a person should not climb and streams what it sees.

  2. Stage 02

    Thermal pass

    Hot spots and leaks show in thermal before a walking round would catch them.

    What the robot takes

    A thermal payload flags them from the air across the site.

  3. Stage 03

    Perimeter watch

    A critical fenced site has to be watched at all hours.

    What the robot takes

    Fixed and mobile cameras, with thermal where it goes dark, hold the fence line.

  4. Stage 04

    Alert response

    Something crosses the line and the clock starts.

    What the robot takes

    Deterrents fire on site and the event is captured for response.

  5. Stage 05

    After hours

    A full guard rotation covers less ground than it costs.

    What the robot takes

    Cameras and patrol hold the perimeter around the clock.

$10k+

Average cost of a break-in across theft, vandalism, and property damage at commercial sites. High-value sites routinely see far larger single-incident losses.

Industry data

$60k+

Annual cost of one overnight security guard, fully loaded with wages and benefits. A camera trailer covers more ground than one pair of eyes.

What decides whether it works.

The things we check on a walkthrough, before anyone talks about robots.

    Stacks, flares, cooling towers, and pipe racks otherwise mean a lift, a harness, or a shutdown. A drone flies them instead.

    A critical site watched at all hours. Fixed and mobile cameras, with thermal where perimeters go dark, hold it.

    Leaks and hot spots read in thermal long before a walking round would find them.

A closer look.

The work that eats the week

The repetitive, physical, hard-to-staff ground in gas power plants. This is what a robot takes.

  • Stacks, flares, and elevated pipe racks need regular inspection, and sending a person up is slow, costly, and a safety exposure.
  • A fenced, critical site has to be watched at all hours, but staffing a full guard rotation covers less ground than it costs.
  • Hot spots and leaks show up in thermal long before a walking round would catch them.
No. 06The cost picture

Rent it, or buy it yourself.

Rent the drone and camera program monthly instead of building your own flight crew and monitoring desk. We design the inspection routes around aviation rules, watch the perimeter with thermal where the site needs it, and service every unit nationwide.

Rent from us

One cost. We carry the machine, the service, and the spare.

  • Upfront cost

    One predictable monthly rental.

  • Maintenance

    Included. We service it and carry the parts.

  • When it breaks

    We swap in a backup unit and you keep your schedule.

  • Scaling

    Add units for the busy months, hand them back after.

  • Who owns the risk

    We own the machine, the service, and the downtime.

Buy it yourself

The machine is yours. So is everything after.

  • Upfront cost

    $4-50k per machine, before it does a day of work.

  • Maintenance

    Your team, or a service contract you manage.

  • When it breaks

    You lose the time while it waits on a fix.

  • Scaling

    Idle hardware on the books in the slow season.

  • Who owns the risk

    All of it sits on your side of the ledger.

Stacks, flares, cooling towers, pipe racks, and roofs — the elevated and hard-to-reach assets that otherwise mean a lift, a harness, or a shutdown. The drone flies the route, streams and records what it sees, and lands to charge. We design the program around the current aviation rules and approvals for your site.
