Cyberhawk Innovations has provided surveys using unmanned aerial vehicles or drones to 16 clients in the wind industry in 2016.
The Scottish company said it has inspected hundreds of turbines in the UK, Ireland and Europe since it launched the service in late 2015.
The work has also included inspection of met masts at the site of the Dogger Bank offshore wind farm and surveillance of an offshore transformer platform.
Cyberhawk chief executive Chris Fleming said: “Throughout 2016 we have seen the industry embrace our technology and take advantage of the benefits on offer, which include reduced safety risks, major cost savings and improved inspection times.
“It is an exciting time for the whole team with 2017 showing signs for further substantial growth.”
