Sewer Inspections by Drone: How Suez RV Osis Uses the Elios 2 to Ensure 100% Coverage When Inspecting Wastewater Infrastructure

**Sewer Inspections by Drone: How Suez RV Osis Achieves 100% Coverage with the Elios 2** At Suez RV Osis, a French waste management company, drone technology is revolutionizing how wastewater infrastructure is inspected. With the help of the Elios 2 from Flyability, inspectors are now able to achieve full coverage in even the most challenging sewer environments. This innovation has become essential as France enforces a new national law requiring all major cities to inspect their wastewater systems by 2026. This regulation has increased the demand for efficient and safe inspection methods, and Suez RV Osis is at the forefront of this transformation. The Elios 2 is a compact, durable drone that can navigate tight spaces and avoid collisions thanks to its protective cage. It’s ideal for inspecting old masonry pipes that could collapse or for areas where human entry is too dangerous due to high water levels, toxic gases, or unstable structures. Traditionally, Suez relied on manual inspections using carts, floating cameras, or direct entry. However, these methods only covered about 80% of the network. The remaining 20% was hard to reach, but with the Elios 2, they’ve managed to cover every inch of the system. “Since we started using the Elios 2, our efficiency has skyrocketed,” says Philippe Bonnin, Drone Development Manager at Suez RV Osis. “We can now inspect up to 900 meters a day—more than double what we used to do manually.” The drone not only speeds up the process but also improves accuracy. With Flyability’s Inspector 3.0 software, Suez can pinpoint exact locations of defects, making maintenance more targeted and cost-effective. Each inspection involves careful planning, execution, and data analysis. Pilots work closely with engineers to ensure they capture all necessary visual data. After the flight, the footage is processed into detailed reports, which are then used to guide repairs and maintenance. The Elios 2’s powerful LED lights and high-resolution camera provide clear images, allowing inspectors to spot cracks, corrosion, sediment buildup, and other issues that could lead to failures. In addition to safety and coverage, the use of drones has reduced the number of personnel needed per inspection. What once required five people now often takes just two, making the process more efficient and less resource-intensive. As the demand for wastewater inspections continues to grow, Suez RV Osis is setting a new standard in the industry. By embracing cutting-edge technology like the Elios 2, they’re ensuring safer, faster, and more comprehensive inspections across France.
