Hovering Solutions

Hovering Solutions is a Madrid company that builds autonomous drones for indoor and underground spaces where GPS, radio links and light are not available. Its robots fly without a pilot through sewers, abandoned tunnels, ore passes, underground mines and hydropower penstocks, and produce georeferenced 3D point clouds and high-resolution panoramic images. Data from each flight goes to a cloud platform where it is stored and classified. Clients can view the 3D models and panoramas in an ordinary web browser and download them without special software. According to company material seen in search results, the outputs can also include a report of structural defects. The main buyers are water utilities, hydropower operators, civil construction firms and mining companies. Named references include Iberdrola, Enel, EDP and Sacyr, and the company has worked with Madrid's water utility, Canal de Isabel II, on sewer inspection. Pricing is pay as you go and based on the amount of data captured, so customers do not have to buy any hardware. No public price list exists. The main limitation is that this is a specialist capture service with a viewer, not a full software suite. There is no evidence of work orders, maintenance planning or published integrations, so the data has to be fed into other asset management tools. Public information about the product is also thin.
