Transport tunnel and infrastructure suitable for drone inspection
Tunnel inspection drone

Inspect tunnel surfaces and difficult sections without GPS.

COAX is a compact inspection platform for tunnels, galleries and underground passages where satellite positioning is unavailable and access can interrupt operations.

COAX + RevSight

Close-range evidence along underground structures

Tunnel inspections may need visual coverage of linings, joints, services, portals and hard-to-reach sections. COAX is being developed to collect inspection data near the structure, while RevSight keeps observations connected to footage and reporting.

What a tunnel inspection drone adds

GNSS-denied operation

Work in underground structures where normal satellite positioning is not available.

Access difficult viewpoints

Observe elevated, constrained or obstructed areas without relying only on ground-level views.

Faster evidence review

Organize visible findings and their source material for engineering and maintenance teams.

Use cases

Tunnel and underground use cases

The inspection plan should reflect geometry, traffic or operations, airflow, communications and required coverage.

  • Road and rail tunnel sections
  • Utility galleries and service passages
  • Portals, culverts and connecting chambers
  • Post-incident or targeted visual assessment
COAX + RevSight

Plan coverage before flight

A defined route and observation list make the captured data easier to use.

01

Map the task

Define access, route length, target surfaces, operational constraints and communication points.

02

Capture

Record the agreed tunnel section and areas that are difficult to view from the ground.

03

Review

Connect observations to evidence and prepare findings for engineering follow-up.

FAQ

Tunnel drone inspection FAQ

Can COAX fly in a tunnel without GPS?

Yes. COAX is designed for confined environments where GNSS/GPS is unavailable.

What tunnel conditions affect a pilot?

Geometry, airflow, dust, moisture, traffic or operations, obstacles, access points and communication range all need to be considered.

Can imagery replace structural testing?

No. Visual evidence can identify areas of interest and support planning, but structural assessment may require measurements, sampling or other specialist methods.
