    Beyond the Naked Eye: Smarter Leak Detection from the Sky At TBS, we understand that methane leaks aren’t just an operational inconvenience—they impact your bottom line, regulatory compliance, and environmental footprint. While we’ve long offered Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) services using Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) cameras, we recognize that traditional, on-the-ground methods aren’t always the most efficient. That’s why we’re elevating leak detection—literally! TBS is now offering advanced methane leak detection using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). With this cutting-edge aerial technology, we provide faster, safer, and more cost-effective leak monitoring than ever before. Why Choose UAV Leak Detection? ✅ Maximize Cost Savings: Leaks are money slipping away—but with UAV-based detection, operators can catch and fix leaks sooner, preventing lost revenue while improving efficiency. More frequent monitoring means you stay ahead of the problem rather than reacting to costly leaks. ✅ Ensure Regulatory Compliance: State and federal regulations demand consistent methane monitoring and reporting. Our UAV technology helps ensure thorough, accurate, and fully compliant inspections, so you can focus on operations instead of paperwork. ✅ Cut Inspection Costs: Traditional LDAR methods require significant manpower and resources—but UAVs provide a faster, more affordable alternative. Reduce labor costs while gaining superior coverage with drone-based inspections. ✅ Enhance Safety & Risk Management: Even small leaks can lead to fires, explosions, and hazardous working conditions. Regular UAV inspections help catch leaks early, reducing risks and potentially lowering insurance premiums by demonstrating a proactive safety approach. ✅ Boost ESG Performance & Carbon Credit Opportunities: Leak detection isn’t just about preventing losses—it’s also about gaining rewards. By cutting methane emissions, operators can meet ESG goals, enhance sustainability efforts, and even generate carbon credits, turning leak prevention into a profitable advantage. Upgrade Your Leak Detection Strategy Today! At TBS, we’re committed to innovation that drives results. Our UAV-based methane detection service helps you save money, stay compliant, and operate more safely—all while contributing to a greener future. Ready to take your leak detection to new heights? Contact TBS today to learn how our aerial solutions can work for you!
