Background
Edgbaston Cricket Stadium, one of the most iconic sports venues in the world, required detailed aerial images for a roof condition survey. The stadium’s management engaged Sky Revolutions to provide the imagery needed for their surveyor to accurately assess the state of the roof.
Project objectives
The surveyor tasked with inspecting the roof required:
- High-resolution aerial images to evaluate the condition of the roof and identify any potential areas for maintenance or repair.
- A fast, safe, and cost-effective solution to access hard-to-reach areas of the roof.
- A quick turnaround, with the goal of capturing the necessary data within 24 hours.
Methodology
Utilising drone technology: Sky Revolutions deployed its team of fully trained and qualified drone pilots to Edgbaston Cricket Ground. Drones provide a highly efficient method for roof inspections, especially in large or complex structures where traditional scaffolding or manned inspections can be costly, time-consuming, and potentially hazardous.
Speed and efficiency: The entire aerial survey was completed within 24 hours, offering a fast, unobtrusive solution that allowed Edgbaston to maintain its normal operations without disruption. Sky Revolutions’ construction expertise enabled us to deliver detailed image data that immediately identified key areas for the surveyor’s inspection.
High-quality imagery: The resulting high-resolution images allowed the client to make precise assessments of the roof’s condition. This included identifying potential damage, areas in need of repair, or preventative maintenance needs, ensuring that the surveyor had a clear, comprehensive overview.

The aerial imagery provided by Sky Revolutions was delivered quickly, meeting Edgbaston’s need for fast, detailed, and cost-effective roof inspection data.
