When talking about the key advantages of using drones for inspections, cutting costs is always at the top of the discussion. But do these savings apply universally across all sectors, or just a select few? And precisely how are drones enabling businesses to trim inspection expenses?
The response to the first question is that the cost-saving benefits of using drones for inspections are applicable in nearly every situation where industrial inspections are necessary. Whether it's an indoor inspection, like checking boilers or pressure vessels, or an outdoor one, such as inspecting power lines or cell phone towers, drones can gather visual data more swiftly and effortlessly than humans. This enhanced speed and convenience are major factors in reducing the overall cost of inspections, regardless of their nature.
As for the second question—how drones assist businesses in lowering inspection costs—it’s detailed in the following list, where we explore all the various ways inspection drones are helping companies save money today.
1. **Minimized Requirement for Scaffolding**
Depending on the scale of the inspection, businesses can save tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars on a single inspection by employing drones to decrease—or even eliminate—the need for scaffolding.
The rationale behind this is straightforward: scaffolding is a single-use expense for a temporary structure built solely to provide inspectors a platform to stand on while collecting visual data within an asset.
Drones can capture the same visual data remotely, drastically reducing the need for human involvement in data collection, and consequently minimizing the need for scaffolding. The costs associated with scaffolding stem from three primary areas:
- Cost of scaffolding materials
- Labor costs for erecting and dismantling the scaffolding
- Extended downtimes for the asset while scaffolding is being installed or removed
Even when scaffolding is essential for gathering additional data or carrying out maintenance, using a drone first can help pinpoint where to construct the scaffolding, which cuts down on both materials needed and the overall time spent.
How much can you save?
Here are two case studies showcasing the savings businesses have achieved by using drones to eliminate the need for scaffolding.
- **Oil & Gas – $2 Million saved in an oil cargo tank inspection with the Elios 2**
An oil tanker manager realized significant savings by using the Elios 2 for a cargo tank inspection, thanks to Marine Inspection Services, Ltd.
- Materials and labor savings: $400,000
- Reduced downtime savings: $1.6 Million
**Total savings: $2 Million**

- **Power Generation – $320,000 saved in a boiler inspection with the Elios 1**
Pampa Energia, Argentina's largest energy provider, achieved notable savings from a single inspection flight with the Elios 1.
- Materials and labor savings: $30,000
- Reduced downtime savings: $290,000
**Total savings: $320,000**

2. **Decreased Downtimes**
Another major contributor to savings when using drones for inspections is their ability to significantly reduce asset downtimes.
One of the primary ways drones reduce downtimes is by minimizing the need for scaffolding, which can take considerable time to set up and dismantle. Additionally, drones are faster at collecting visual data than humans, helping to expedite data collection during inspections.
How much can you save?
As illustrated in the case studies above, downtime reductions can help businesses save hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. For instance, in the first case study, an oil tanker manager saved $1.6 Million by using an indoor drone to inspect a cargo tank.

Here’s how that saving was calculated:
- Downtime cost = $200,000 per day
- Extra downtime required for scaffolding setup/takedown = 8 days
**Total savings = $1.6 Million**
3. **Reduced Work Hours**
Inspection drones can also dramatically cut the total number of work hours required for inspections, which helps lower labor costs.
This reduction in labor primarily comes from eliminating the need for workers to construct and dismantle scaffolding. Furthermore, since drones can gather visual data more quickly than humans, they can also reduce the overall time an inspector needs to spend onsite collecting data.
How much faster is a drone compared to a person?
Here’s a case study demonstrating the reduction in work hours achievable through inspection drones.
- **Power Generation – 470 hours of work saved in a scrubber inspection at a power plant**
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) used the Elios 2 to inspect a scrubber at one of its power plants, reducing the inspection time by 98%.
- Manual inspection work hours: 280 hours
- Drone inspection work hours: 10 hours
**Total work reduction: 270 hours (98% overall reduction)**
*Read the full case study.*
4. **Lower Insurance Costs**
Using drones for indoor inspections can greatly diminish risks for inspectors and workers onsite by reducing the need for confined space entry, rope access, or standing at dangerous heights on scaffolding.
By decreasing these hazards, companies can reduce their liability insurance, leading to additional savings.

5. **Less Need for Health & Safety Equipment**
In numerous inspection scenarios, inspectors must wear health and safety gear while performing inspections.
By replacing manual data collection with remote data collection via drones, the requirement for such equipment is reduced, offering yet another way businesses can save money through drone inspections.
6. **Increased Frequency of Inspections**
Since drones make inspections more affordable, they enable businesses to conduct inspections more frequently.
Performing inspections more often allows companies to detect defects in assets earlier than they would otherwise. Early detection enables businesses to address potential issues before they escalate, prolonging the lifespan of their assets and resulting in substantial savings over time.
Increasing the frequency of inspections also benefits the environment. A study conducted by Boiler Room Consulting found that using drones to boost the number of inspections annually could potentially reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 649 metric tons per year.
