Transforming your inspections with
The Skygauge does away with all that. Your inspection team remains safe on the ground, sending up a drone to complete the inspection in hours instead of days. There is no need for manlifts, scaffolding, or rope access.
Industrial corrosion doesn’t happen where access is easy. Our drone maintains controlled contact from multiple orientations, enabling true 360-degree access around pipes, tanks, and complex structures. It reaches undersides, vertical walls, and elevated surfaces without scaffolding or rope access. Inspect and perform spot rust repair where it actually matters, not just where it’s convenient.
Our drone is designed to make direct, controlled contact with industrial structures in flight.
It performs ultrasonic thickness measurements and localized rust preparation and repair, allowing teams to inspect and address corrosion without conventional access methods.
This isn’t visual inspection from a distance. It’s hands-on work done remotely.
The Skygauge flies by tilting the rotors to move while the center body remains stable. The probe uses a force sensor to mimic the precision of the human hand to get accurate readings.
Skygauge vs Inspection by Hand
Hand gauging is time-consuming nature, requires skilled personnel, and has potential for human error. Witness the benefits of using drones for NDT.

Inspections with The Skygauge are 5 to 20x faster than traditional methods involving rope access, scaffolding, and boom lifts.
Conduct in-service inspections and move from point-to-point, structure-to-structure, and site to-site with unrivalled speed.
The Skygauge has been adopted by industry for many use cases around the world.

Skygauge completes high-altitude chimney inspection faster than a boom lift, saving customers $45,000 on rental costs.
Industrial chimneys are critical pieces of infrastructure, which cost refineries, factories, and other industrial sites millions of dollars in downtime during inspections. Traditionally, inspections involve using a boom lift to take the UT inspector to various points across the chimney stack, slowly working through hundreds of test points manually over the course of multiple days. The chimney must be shut down for the duration of the job. This comparison study demonstrates how the Skygauge can save you time and money by conducting the inspection remotely, while the stack remains operational. It demonstrates how our technology is faster, cheaper, and safer than traditional methods.
Save over 95% of the costs of a scaffolding inspection by using the Skygauge.
Scaffolding is slow and expensive, but it is often the most effective way to bring workers - especially unskilled or semi-skilled workers, to locations at height. If you have 40-60 inspection points around a storage tank, you often have no choice but to spend hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars to erect scaffolding. This case study demonstrates how using the Skygauge Inspection Drone instead can save you time and money, while keeping your workers safe on the ground.
Customers save 90% or more by using the Skygauge for ship inspections.
Conducting ultrasonic and visual inspections on a cargo ship is a monumental task. The process is costly and slow. Skygauge offers a better way. Our drone removes the need for scaffolding entirely, and conducts UT scans 10x faster than a human operative without a decrease in accuracy. The Skygauge automatically compensates for surface movement due to waves and wind, enabling operations in harsh conditions.
Skygauge Spot Thickness Test vs. Testing by Hand
How Skygauge Robotics saves time and money on UT inspections. The Skygauge Inspection Drone provides a safer alternative to conventional UT inspection methods at height while saving customers both time and money. Rope access is the most cost-effective conventional method for conducting UT inspections at height. This comparison study demonstrates the money and time saved when using Skygauge compared to a rope access inspection team when conducting a UT inspection of five welded steel storage tanks at an oil refinery.
