How to use Drones in the Water Sector with Yorkshire Water
Live webinar with George Burne and David Forbes, Yorkshire Water
THURS 15 JUL // 11AM
Why are Yorkshire Water taking their UAV capabilities in-house?
As the amount of commercial drone applications continues its unstoppable rise, more and more enterprises have turned to UAVs to resolve a problem.
While companies that incorporated drones into their business practices originally outsourced their needs, there is now a growing move towards bringing drone capabilities in-house. One of the companies that is currently operating its own drone team is water supply and treatment utility company Yorkshire Water.
Join Coptrz’ George Burne as he speaks with David Forbes, Risk & Solution Engineer and UAV Manager at Yorkshire Water. George and David will be speaking about the day-to-day operations of the UAV team and how Yorkshire Water are carrying out external inspections with drone technology, specifically the ELIOS 2 and DJI M300.
What you’ll learn on the webinar:
✓ How are drones being used in the water sector?
✓ What are Yorkshire Water doing with drones at the moment?
✓ What drones are available in the industry?
✓ How a drone solution can revolutionise your inspection workflows
✓ At the end, we’ll run a live Q&A where you can ask George and David anything!
