For TIC Service Providers and Inspection Bodies
Rotor blade inspection by drone, without your own flight team
DDI carries out rotor blade inspection as your subcontractor. Same data quality as rope access, significantly higher throughput.
TIC service providers and inspection bodies typically commission external rope access technicians for rotor blade inspections. DDI replaces that part with drone-based inspection: high-resolution images of all blade surfaces per turbine, fixed price per turbine, up to 15 turbines a day. The findings assessment, certification and client report remain entirely with you. DDI does not act as an inspection body or expert and has no interest in taking the assessment role away from you.
Capacity when rope access is not available
One DDI operator inspects up to 15 rotor blade turbines per day. No waiting for climbing teams, no seasonal bottlenecks. For multi-site campaigns we coordinate deployment sequence and scheduling directly with your project team.
Full reports or raw data only — your choice
By default, DDI delivers complete inspection reports including defect assessment. On request, DDI limits its scope to images and measurement data so that your inspection organisation can carry out the assessment independently. In that case DDI does not act as inspection body; the final report stays with you.
Easy integration into your project workflow
Commissioning by project order, data in the DDI Portal for direct further processing, white-label available on request. We align deployment dates, coordination with the remote monitoring centre and the handover format directly with your project team.

Frequently asked questions
How is DDI commissioned?
As your subcontractor, by project order. DDI coordinates the deployment date, remote monitoring centre and site access independently. You receive the data in the DDI Portal and can import it directly into your reporting process.
What exactly does DDI deliver?
High-resolution original images of all rotor blade surfaces per turbine (all three blades, leading edge, trailing edge, suction side and pressure side each), captured with automated flight paths per turbine type. Optionally supplemented by a lightning protection measurement protocol to IEC 61400-24.
Who produces the final report?
That remains entirely with you as the inspection body. DDI delivers only the inspection data. The technical assessment, classification to your methodology and the client report are your deliverable.
Is white-label possible?
Yes, on request. Reports and data delivery can be provided under your branding. Please mention this when submitting your enquiry.
