Most Popular Questions
A thermal drone inspection uses an infrared camera mounted on a drone to detect temperature differences across assets, land, or infrastructure. These temperature variations help identify anomalies such as overheating components, moisture intrusion, water leaks, or heat loss without physical contact.
No. MDLG provides non-invasive, observational thermal inspections using drone technology and specialised software. Our services focus on detection and condition monitoring, not engineering certification or repair decisions.
We work across multiple sectors, including:
- Commercial and industrial facilities
- Solar and renewable energy
- Agriculture and irrigation
- Game farms and wildlife reserves
- Insurance and risk management
- Municipal and utility pre-screening
Thermal drones can detect:
- Solar panel hotspots and inverter overheating
- Electrical connection temperature anomalies
- Roof moisture and insulation failure
- Water leaks and irrigation inefficiencies
- Crop water stress patterns
- Livestock and wildlife heat signatures
No. All MDLG inspections are conducted remotely from the air, with minimal disturbance and no interruption to daily operations. There is no need for shutdowns or physical access to assets.
MDLG operates nationwide across South Africa, including urban, rural, and remote locations.
If you manage assets, land, or infrastructure where early detection of heat, moisture, or leaks can reduce risk or costs, a thermal inspection is likely suitable. Our team can help assess your needs before deployment.
Thermal imaging provides highly reliable temperature comparison and anomaly detection when conducted under appropriate conditions. All findings are supported by time-stamped thermal and visual evidence captured at the time of inspection.
Our reports typically include:
- Thermal and visual images
- Temperature measurements and comparisons
- Geo-referenced locations
- Observations and severity indicators
- Clear, client-ready summaries
Most reports are delivered within 3–7 working days, depending on project size and complexity. Urgent inspections can be prioritised on request.
Yes. Many thermal inspections — including wildlife surveys and electrical screening — are often more effective at night, as temperature contrast is improved.
No. MDLG does not provide engineering, electrical, or ecological certification. Our services are intended to support early detection, risk awareness, and maintenance prioritisation.
Yes. MDLG operates in line with South African aviation regulations and follows best practices for safe and responsible drone operations.
