Aerial Drone Inspections
High-Access Insight Without the Risk
Since 1998, Flares and Stacks has been at the forefront of aerial flare inspection technology—pioneering the use of drone systems to provide safe, efficient, and detailed inspections of elevated industrial equipment.
Our aerial inspection program continues to evolve, utilizing advanced multi-rotor drones paired with high-resolution imaging and thermal sensors to inspect flare tips, utility piping, guy wires, and other high-risk components—without requiring system shutdowns or personnel at height.
What We Inspect
- Flare tips (active and inactive systems)
- Stack shells, ladders, platforms, guy wire connections
- Pilots, thermocouples, retractable systems
- Elevated piping, warning lights, structure tops
