Inverness-based PDG Aviation Services, a provider of manned aerial solutions for critical infrastructure, has bought drone specialist Team UAV.
Backed by LDC, PDG supports sectors including power, utilities, and rail with aerial surveys, inspections, and lifting. Its services include survey inspection, aerial lifting, aircraft charter and film supporting productions.
Indeed in the latter it has worked with the BBC, ITV, Warner Bros, Sky, and National Geographic across everything from live broadcasts to television commercials, dramas and movie productions.
Since 2013, Worcestershire-based Team UAV has been providing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), drone inspection and drone survey services to Government Agencies, the Construction, National Infrastructure, Resources, Emergency and Security industries. In addition, it has drone defence and security services for events such as festivals and national infrastructure.
It also carries out roof, bridge, wind turbine, storm damage and solar PV inspections.
The acquisition enhances PDG’s capabilities in aerial surveying, inspections and imaging, providing customers across multiple industries including power, utilities and rail, with a broader range of services, improved data collection efficiency and innovative solutions.
“We are thrilled to welcome Team UAV to PDG,” said Shaun Strain, chief executive at PDG. “Their expertise in UAV technology perfectly complements our existing services, allowing us to deliver even greater value to our customers with advanced aerial solutions.”
“This is an exciting milestone for Team UAV,” said Lewis Pritchard, managing director at Team UAV. “Joining forces with PDG means we can scale our operations, enhance our service offerings, and continue pushing the boundaries of UAV technology.”
As part of PDG, Team UAV’s technology and expertise will “integrate seamlessly into PDG’s operations, ensuring a smooth transition for existing customers while unlocking new opportunities for innovation and growth.
The integration of Team UAV into PDG is effective immediately. Existing customers can expect the same high-quality service and support, now backed by the additional resources and expertise of PDG.
