Inspection by Drone for the Exhaust Louvre / Silencer at Public Transport Interchanges (Pilot site: LOHAS Park Station Public Transport Interchange)

I&T Wish Inspection by Drone for the Exhaust Louvre / Silencer at Public Transport Interchanges (Pilot site: LOHAS Park Station Public Transport Interchange)
(REF: W-0545)
Matched I&T Solution
Trial Project
Summary and Challenges
  • Regular inspection of exhaust louvres and silencers at Public Transport Interchanges (PTIs) is crucial for ensuring proper ventilation and air quality. Traditional inspection methods, such as manual inspection or rope access, are time-consuming, labor-intensive and potentially hazardous. Drones offer a safer, more efficient and cost-effective alternative for inspecting exhaust louvres and silencers.
  • Challenges:
    • Ensuring the safety of drone operations in public areas.
    • Developing reliable and accurate inspection methods using drones.
    • Processing and analyzing large amounts of data collected by drones.
Expected Outcome
  • A pilot project will be conducted at LOHAS Park Station PTI to demonstrate the feasibility of using drones for inspecting exhaust louvres and silencers. The project will develop and test protocols for safe and effective drone-based inspection. The project will evaluate the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of drone-based inspection compared to traditional methods.
Expected Trial Duration 6-month
