CARIGE

Service

Infrastructure & structure inspection by drone

Bridges, lighthouses, water towers, façades, pylons: inspection happens from the ground, with no scaffolding and no lift — and every defect is located, measured and logged.

Inspect without scaffolding

On a tall or hard-to-reach structure, the cost of inspection is first the cost of access: scaffolding, lifts, rope teams, shutdowns. The drone removes physical access: a full day of traditional inspection fits into one hour of flight. And the result is not a stack of photos: it is a complete 3D model of the structure on which every defect — corrosion, crack, spalling, deformation — is detected, located in three dimensions and measured.

The CARIGE method

Scan

Close-range photogrammetric flight around the structure, collision sensors, resolution down to 0.5 mm on sensitive areas. Optional thermography for invisible defects.

Analyse

Digital-twin reconstruction, then automated defect detection: corrosion is spotted on the textures, deformations measured on the geometry — every point with its location, extent and value.

Map

Annotated 3D model that opens in your browser, defect table (location, area, measurement), façade orthoplans, condition report ready for your maintenance system.

Where we work

French West Indies, French Guiana, the Caribbean and Central America. Bridges, heritage, industrial and port structures: we inspect where access is expensive. Reference: digital twin of a water tower in Martinique with automated detection of cracks and rust spots. All service areas →

Local presence, ready to deploy

Based locally in the French West Indies, we deploy fast: urgent requests by WhatsApp at +596 696 19 95 82, reply within two hours, quote the same day. We can charter a private aircraft to almost any destination in the region and mobilise nearly the same day. Coverage of up to 1,000 hectares per day (two Matrice RTK drones).

Our automated-detection models — corrosion, deformation, damage, vegetation — are developed in the region, from our own field missions.

Your structure, no scaffolding

Describe the structure and the defects you fear: we reply with a method, a resolution and a sample deliverable.
