Middlesbrough drone Service Provider DJM Aerial Solutions have recently accessed grant funding worth £6600 towards their £25000 equipment purchase from local Teesside growth hub Tees Valley Business Compass. The Middlesbrough drone service provider has seen a steady increase in demand during recent months and decided that to maintain their reputation and service portfolio then a new equipment purchase would be required allowing continuation of their innovative service (s).

The Middlesbrough drone service provider is expecting to see some growth in the region this year with a strong possibility of taking on more staff to continue with their innovative service campaign. This will be made possible with the recent equipment purchase and financial assistance from the Tees Valley Growth Hub Tees Valley Business Compass.

Tees Valley Funding

There has recently been huge plans laid out on the Tees Valley region promoting a diverse industry boiling pot with heavy engineering and creative industries both at the forefront of not only the Tees Valley area but on a national scale. The Teesside region has always boasted a higher than national average engineering skill set passed down over generations. However the recent decline of the Teesside industry in general cast a shadow over the area with huge concern over the future of our children, grandchildren etc. Especially after the collapse of the steel industry that had propped up the Teesside area for the last century.

Recently the news of several industry giants such as Sirius minerals, MGT and the confirmation of Teesside (s) advanced manufacturing sector. The North East region is keen to promote its local business, especially where innovation is concerned.

DJM Aerial solutions are no stranger to the heavy engineering sector with decades of experience in heavy engineering and then later adopting the emerging technology of commercial drone services which has allowed them to combine their engineering skill set and combine it with this relatively new disruptive innovation.

DJM Aerial Solutions approached Tees Valley Business compass after coming up with a definitive innovative method of carrying out inspection both thermal and standard within confined spaces remotely which provided them the opportunity to pitch their plans to one of Tees Valley Business Compass (s) growth consultants, who instantly recognised the strengths in their plan and was offered 33% funding towards their capital investment.

Innovative Service

The Middlesbrough Drone Service Provider has the ability to provide remote inspections of assets and infrastructure both thermal and RGB and also provide detailed land survey methods utilising their broad range of skills and high specification equipment and have done so with great success. However, to compete with the big players on the UAV Service company scene such as Cyberhawk, Skyfutures, and Texodrone, DJM Aerial Solutions were required to up their game.

The Middlesbrough Drone Service provider had meetings with several clients in the North East region promoting the possibility of a remote confined space entry method allowing detailed inspection and survey without the requirement for traditional access methods such as Scaffold or Rope Access personnel. This method of inspection could be used to monitor debris fallout within ducting, cracks and fissures in storage tanks, damaged refractory lining around boiler spaces and Quinquennial inspections of ships ballast tanks.

The possibilities around this innovative service are endless and the Middlesbrough Drone service provider are proud to be one of the first companies in the UK to adopt the equipment. Again DJM Aerial Solutions are no stranger to being early adopters of innovative technology in this remit, they have also invested recently in further innovative products to complement their services read about it here.
