Utility-scale CSP inspection validation

PAM supported Volateq during a U.S. trial designed to validate its drone-based inspection software and data workflow under real utility-scale operating conditions.

Locations

  • Atlantica Mojave Solar Project near Barstow, California
  • Atlantica Solana Generating Station in Arizona

Operating challenge

Volateq’s technical team was based in Europe, while the validation work required coordinated access, logistics, flight planning, and consistent field capture at two remote U.S. concentrated solar power facilities.

PAM’s role

  • Domestic travel and field logistics
  • Client and facility coordination
  • Site-access planning
  • Mission and flight planning
  • On-site sUAS execution
  • Thermal and RGB data acquisition
  • Still-photo and video capture
  • Coordination with Volateq’s Europe-based technical team
  • Data preparation and delivery for downstream analysis

Outcome

The engagement provided Volateq with a utility-scale U.S. field-validation dataset across two operating CSP facilities and demonstrated an effective coordination model between a European analysis team and a U.S. field-operations partner.

Operational readiness and program systems

PAM’s operational systems were developed from the practical demands of active field deployments, where safe and repeatable flight execution depended on more than aircraft capability alone.

Operating challenge

Distributed and extended operations require continuity across pilots, equipment, sites, shifts, risk decisions, unresolved issues, and mission closeout. Those needs are often spread across disconnected forms, messages, and flight applications.

PAM’s role

  • Preflight risk-review workflow development
  • Aircraft and site readiness tracking
  • AM and PM operational checks
  • Post-flight reporting
  • Incident documentation
  • Follow-up and corrective-action tracking
  • Pilot and shift handoff
  • Mission closeout and accountability
  • Operational-context and readiness visibility

Outcome

These workflows created a more structured approach to readiness, documentation, and continuity across changing field conditions. The field experience and operating logic became the foundation for Turris CTRL.
