Steinmüller Africa has deployed Elios 3 caged drones to transform industrial inspections at power stations. The new technology allows confined-space and high-risk asset checks with less downtime, reduced scaffolding costs, and enhanced safety — delivering high-resolution visual and mapping data that help operators make faster decisions while mitigating outage risk.
Ghana Water Limited’s new use of drone technology for meter reading in flood-prone communities such as Tetegu, Greater Accra, is transforming billing accuracy, operational safety, and disaster preparedness. The pilot, documented in an ASRIC study, demonstrates how unmanned aerial vehicles can dramatically reduce labour time and improve revenue protection, offering a roadmap for broader adoption across Ghana’s utilities sector.
A 2025 white paper shows Africa’s drone healthcare logistics initiatives have slashed delivery times by up to 85% and reduced spoilage by about 70%, revolutionizing access to medicines and emergency supplies in remote regions.
Africa’s mining industry is rapidly increasing its adoption of drone technology, with UAVs now deployed for stockpile surveys, terrain modelling, and underground inspections. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, some mine sites operate fleets of up to five drones daily, improving safety, efficiency, and data accuracy across operations.
Drones and satellites are both used to take pictures, measure land, and assist people in planning large projects. However, when it comes to detailed site work, such as mapping, inspecting buildings, or tracking changes on the ground, drones are often the better choice.
Unsure about Africa's drone laws? This comprehensive guide breaks down the complex regulations across the continent, from South Africa's stringent drone policies to DR Congo’s near-open skies regime. Learn about licensing, no-fly zones, and key compliance tips to ensure your commercial drone operations are safe, legal, and successful.
Small errors in geotechnical monitoring, road maintenance, or stockpile management can result in injuries, landslides, equipment damage, or operational shutdowns. For this reason, modern mines increasingly rely on remote sensing tools to eliminate unnecessary human exposure to danger.
Drones are transforming construction workflows across Ghana and Africa. This article explains how UAVOps provides survey-grade mapping, precise progress verification, early deviation detection, and safer remote inspections, reducing site visits, preventing cost overruns, and improving project performance.
