For decades, silo inspection has relied on a trained eye, methodical evaluation, and years of experience identifying signs of wear and deterioration. While that expertise remains essential, new technology is helping Marietta Silos take inspection accuracy and efficiency to another level. Our AI Silo Inspection service combines artificial intelligence with drone-based data collection to provide a clearer, more complete picture of your silo's condition.

 

AI Silo Inspection uses drone capture technology to collect high-resolution images and video of the entire exterior of a silo or bulk storage container. These images are processed using proprietary software that creates a 3D digital twin of the structure. From there, artificial intelligence algorithms analyze the surface to detect cracks, spalling, corrosion, and other types of damage.

 

Each defect is recorded on the 3D model, identified by type, and ranked by severity. The result is a visual, data-driven record of the silo's condition that can be used for maintenance planning, budgeting, and risk assessment. Because the AI software can detect even very small defects, smaller than 0.1 millimeters, it provides a level of detail that helps identify issues long before they become critical.

 

Traditional exterior inspections often require scaffolding or rope access, which can limit visibility and increase downtime. Using drones allows our inspectors to safely access every part of a silo's exterior, regardless of height or location. In many cases, images can be collected in a matter of hours, giving facility managers the information they need without interrupting operations.

 

The AI Silo Inspection report provides detailed analytics, including images, damage mapping, and severity rankings, along with Marietta Silos' professional recommendations. When used annually, this service builds a consistent record of exterior condition over time. Tracking changes year by year helps facility managers identify trends, prioritize repairs, and reduce the likelihood of unexpected failures.

 

AI Silo Inspection can be used as a standalone service or as a supplemental inspection between regular professional inspections. It is also available as an add-on to one of Marietta Silos' three inspection levels. By integrating AI-driven analytics into an ongoing maintenance plan, businesses gain a more reliable foundation for asset management and budgeting.

 

As part of our commitment to advancing silo safety and performance, Marietta Silos continues to invest in tools and techniques that make inspections more precise and efficient. AI Silo Inspection represents an important step in that direction, combining modern data analysis with our long-standing expertise in silo engineering and repair.
