Roof inspection of industrial warehouses in Ninove
For a logistics complex in Ninove we recorded the complete roof surface of several warehouses, without anyone having to go onto the roof. Result: a scaled orthophoto and a report with priority repairs as the basis for the maintenance budget.

The question
The property manager wanted to know where on the extensive roofs there were defects, dirt and standing water, without putting staff or an aerial lift on the roof.
Scope and conditions
Several warehouse roofs of a logistics complex, with particular attention to the transitions between roof sections and the HVAC units on the roof.
Approach
Photogrammetric capture of the complete roof complex, processed into a single scaled orthomosaic, supplemented with detail images of the critical points. Each zone of attention was given a number in the report.
Files delivered
- High-resolution orthomosaic
- Inspection report with numbered points of attention
- Raw image data
Result
- 75minutes of flight time
- for the complete roof surface, with a list of priority repairs that now forms the basis of the annual maintenance budget.
What the dataset does not show
The orthophoto and the detail images show what is visible at the surface: dirt, standing water, damaged seams and junctions. They say nothing about moisture beneath the roof covering or the condition of the insulation. That still requires a probe by the roofer or building surveyor.
