Autonomous infrastructure inspection

Drone swarms that inspect infrastructure, together.

NEST deploys a coordinated team of drones from a single mobile ground station — inspecting bridges, locks and dikes faster and safer than ever before.

NEST

One van. A swarm of drones. A complete inspection.

Our system brings everything needed for an inspection to the site, so work that used to take days with rope access or closures can happen in hours.

Coordinated swarm

Multiple drones split the structure between them and fly in parallel, covering large assets quickly.

Mobile ground station

Launch, control, charging and data processing in a single vehicle — on site within minutes.

Actionable data

High-resolution imagery mapped onto the structure, with defects flagged for the inspector.

The same roof seen in RGB and thermal infrared
Sensors

See what the eye can't.

Every flight combines high-resolution visual imagery with thermal infrared, revealing moisture, insulation loss and hidden damage.

  • RGB visual for cracks, corrosion and deformation
  • Thermal infrared for moisture and heat loss
  • Every image geotagged to its exact spot on the structure
Built for the Netherlands

Infrastructure that keeps the country dry, moving and powered

Thousands of bridges, locks, wind turbines and kilometres of dikes need regular inspection. We help asset owners keep up.
