Detailed Inspection by Drone
As part of its missions for monitoring and maintenance of its patrimony. SNCF must conduct regular inspection operations of its structures. Due to heavy operating constraints and difficulties of access, SNCF plans to conduct monitoring and inspection of these works using a lightweight pilot-less drone. This background has led SNCF to conduct a campaign of partial test inspections of earthworks by drone.
