Drone in a box for industry

Why Choose Sky Revolutions for DIAB?

The team at Sky Revolutions have become one of the UK’s most trusted names in aerial surveying and inspection. Our Drone In A Box (DIAB) service builds on over 10 years of operational expertise, providing fully managed, automated aerial monitoring that clients can rely on day after day.

Here are just a few of the reasons why…

Operational expertise

Our heritage in surveying, inspection, and drone operations means we understand the demands of live construction, infrastructure, and energy sites. We manage every DIAB deployment from setup to data delivery – ensuring your operations remain compliant, efficient, and fully supported by qualified professionals.

All DIAB flights are conducted under Sky Revolutions’ CAA authorisations and safety procedures. Our team are trained, insured, and experienced in managing high-risk and restricted environments.

Eyes on your site, anytime

Automated aerial coverage

Our DIAB service provides continuous oversight, delivering regular, high-resolution data that helps you track progress, verify activity, and identify issues before they escalate.

On-demand missions

Need a specific area inspected or a rapid response? Our specialists can trigger additional flights remotely, capturing detailed imagery or thermal data whenever it’s required.

Why it matters:

Client access and reporting

You’ll receive access to a secure online portal where all your imagery, video, and analytics are stored and available on demand. Multiple users can view live updates, compare site data over time, and download reports directly for internal use or client presentations.

Operational insight and reporting

Our DIAB service provides actionable data, not just imagery. Each flight produces measurable outputs for site progress, safety & security checks, or stockpile analysis – helping teams make informed decisions quickly and confidently.

We tailor reporting to suit each client’s needs, whether that’s construction progress analysis, volumetric surveys, compliance records, or security verification. Every mission is quality-checked by our in-house specialists to ensure consistency and reliability.

Why it matters:

Accurate aerial data helps you see what’s happening on site, identify issues before they escalate, and maintain total operational awareness across your assets.

Safe, compliant & secure

All DIAB operations are carried out under CAA Operational Authorisations and strict safety management procedures.

Each site undergoes a full, site-specific BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) assessment, and we obtain dedicated CAA approval before operations begin.

Your data is handled securely, stored on encrypted servers, and backed up regularly in line with ISO 9001 and data protection standards.

Your questions answered

A Drone In A Box (DIAB) is a fully managed autonomous drone service that captures and delivers aerial data automatically – without the need for on-site pilots. Sky Revolutions operates and manages each system for you, handling everything from CAA permissions and flight scheduling to data delivery and ongoing support.

Yes – our DIAB service is designed for challenging and remote locations. We complete a full site assessment to check power, connectivity and airspace considerations before installation, ensuring the system runs reliably wherever you operate.

Flights can be pre-scheduled at regular intervals or triggered on-demand, depending on your needs. Data is processed and available almost instantly through our secure dashboard, allowing you to view high-resolution imagery, measurements and analytics.

Every DIAB site is supported by a site-specific BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) assessment. We handle the full process of obtaining Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) authorisation for each location – ensuring your operations are fully compliant and approved to fly safely.

Absolutely – DIAB is ideal for construction progress tracking, asset inspection, infrastructure management and perimeter security. We configure flight paths and reporting to suit your industry and objectives, whether that’s safety, security or operational insight.

Once installed and authorised, your DIAB service begins delivering data from the first mission. Most clients see measurable benefits immediately – faster reporting, improved safety, and reduced site visits – all backed by our team’s operational expertise.

We offer a transparent, all-inclusive service package that covers site assessment, installation, permissions, flight management and data delivery. Pricing depends on the number of sites, frequency of flights and reporting level required – with no hidden fees or extras.

BVLOS stands for Beyond Visual Line of Sight – it refers to drone operations where the aircraft is flown beyond the pilot’s direct visual range. In the UK, you must obtain a Operational Authorisation from the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) before operations can begin.

Sky Revolutions surveyed the roof of a grade 2 listed Victorian Barracks block we own. The service was complete, comprehensive, competent and consummately professional. The report provided following the survey was so well written and with such detail that it met all our needs when dealing with potential roofing contractors, conservation officers and the planning authority. I cannot recommend this company highly enough.

I booked their CAA-approved 2-day A2CofC / GVC course, with limited prior experience. I needn’t have been worried! The instructor (Patrick) was extremely knowledgeable and covered the legislation, safety regulations, and all the necessary training materials required to pass both exams. It was a lot to take in, but Patrick was very patient and paced at a level that covered all levels of experience. The course will help grow the aerial photography side of my business. Thank you, Sky Revolutions - Highly recommended!

Brilliant course, very thorough, enjoyable and engaging. Location was easy to find and the facilities/services were second to none. Patrick especially was incredibly knowledgeable on the subject matter and answered each and every question in an engaging and digestible manner. I would highly recommend this course for anyone with an interest in drones as what I took away will be invaluable moving forward with our drone services.

Just finished my A2CofC and GVC training with Sky Revolutions. A great experience, professionally delivered with the benefit of knowledgeable trainers who added their experiences for further value. Patrick and Greg were open to any questions, stupid or otherwise and had plenty of fact-based evidence to support their answers. Training material was of a high standard. I’m sure the post-course assistance for CAA submission will be of the same level. Thanks Sky Revolutions!

Excellent service received from the Sky Revolutions team. Knowledgeable and precise advice around the project in question. Sky Revolutions explored all options before coming up with a final solution, which was fully discussed and all pro's & con's outlined, enabling us to understand their thought process. I would always recommend their services.

I recently worked alongside Ben Gorham, Director of Sky Revolutions, when he was contracted to carry out a drone land survey at my place of work. Ben took some really high quality video footage from the sky using the drone and shared this with me in just a few hours. Ben was very diligent when it came to health and safety procedures, which included liaising with the CAA, and I would certainly recommend Sky Revolutions to a colleague for this type of work.

Recently attended Sky Revolutions to undertake the A2 CofC and GVC joint course. I walked in a complete novice, and left a qualified pilot, all thanks to the knowledge and professionalism shown by the two instructors, Patrick and Greg. I cannot recommend this company enough. Absolute top quality and great value for money. Thank you all at Sky Revolutions.
