Sergey Lyustarnov, Project Manager at ZALA, presented case studies on aerial monitoring of construction and transport infrastructure using ZALA’s aircraft-based UAVs. Using examples from healthcare facilities and Russian Railways projects, he demonstrated how the use of big data enables a shift from piecemeal monitoring to managing the entire lifecycle of a facility. Particular emphasis was placed on the integration of data into the unified ZALA 4Z1 geoinformation system, which eliminates human error and reporting distortions.

Commenting on the inadequacy of traditional control methods and the consequences of the absence of objective monitoring, Ljúshternov outlined the company's key operating principles:

«The days of piecemeal photo reports from quadcopters are over. True efficiency means a system based on an aerial UAV covering hundreds of kilometres of infrastructure in a single flight, whilst the client receives not just a „pretty picture“, but objective data on the process: displacements, heat loss, and the dynamics of changes. In construction and transport, we are solving the problem of «blind spots» and providing a tool that allows you to see the situation in real time and make lightning-fast decisions based on neural network analysis, rather than subjective reports from the field,» emphasised a representative of ZALA.

Staff from the Ministry of Emergency Situations praised the effectiveness of aerial monitoring using the ZALA UAV, noted the high quality of the equipment, which enabled a detailed survey of the area, and thanked the ZALA specialists for their cooperation. The data obtained will also be used to create orthophoto maps.

The process is underpinned by the company’s state-of-the-art ZALA unmanned aerial vehicles and technological solutions, which are based on artificial intelligence algorithms — IRRA on-board hardware and software complex and the specialised software "GeoHorizon" and "GeoDynamics". Centralised data management is implemented through 4Z1 digital platform. The geoinformation resource provides the customer with continuous online access to overhead imagery from UAVs and to the media archive.

The technologies presented are already actively used by the largest drone operators in Russia, confirming their reliability and efficiency. The visit of the Gazprom delegation reflects the growing interest of big business in intelligent infrastructure monitoring tools and could become a starting point for further cooperation in the digitalization of the fuel and energy sector's processes.

Meltwater erodes the soil, causing erosion of supports, flooding of protective structures, and exposure of pipes, which can lead to their deformation, depressurisation, and environmental consequences. Ice jams pose a particular danger.

To quickly identify these risks, the ZALA T-16 will employ Advanced tools based on the IRRA hardware-software complex with artificial intelligence. Real-time machine vision algorithms process data from video cameras and thermal imagers – the system automatically classifies deviations and transmits ready signals about flooded areas or ground collapses to the operator. Thanks to integration with the ZALA 4Z1 platform, customer representatives can receive operational information in real-time and make management decisions based on objective data about what is happening. The T-16 flight duration is over four hours. In a single sortie, it inspects more than 75 km of pipelines, and uninterrupted operation is maintained even in a complex radio-electronic environment due to stable communication and alternative navigation.

In early May, monitoring will also be intensified in the northern regions – here, according to specialists, the risks of flooding remain until September.

For the quickest possible coverage of territories, two systems are used simultaneously. The ZALA mobile laboratory, mounted on a high-mobility vehicle, ensures efficient operation in field conditions. As noted by «Aurora-BAS» [Aurora-Unmanned Systems], the parallel use of two UAVs significantly speeds up data collection from remote areas. In addition, the T-16, built into the IRRA AI-based hardware-software complex In real-time, it identifies river congestion, monitors flooding and potential dry grass fires.

The ZALA T-16 is optimal for patrolling large areas in any weather conditions and at any time of day. It carries a wide range of payloads: HD cameras, thermal imagers, and photographic equipment. Its flight endurance exceeds four hours, and it surveys over 75 kilometres in a single sortie. This allows for prompt data acquisition from remote and hard-to-reach territories, which is particularly important during periods of high risk of floods and natural fires.

The ZALA T-16 records video in daylight, night-time, and thermal imaging modes. On-board UAV machine vision algorithms analyse frames in real-time, classify deviations and transmit ready signals to the operator: flooding zone, thermal anomaly near a pipe, signs of soil erosion. Integration with the ZALA 4Z1 platform allows real-time viewing of video and analytics from anywhere in the world. The T-16 has a flight duration of over four hours and can survey more than 75 km of pipelines per flight. Reliable communication and alternative navigation ensure uninterrupted operation even in a complex radio-electronic environment. According to data from fuel and energy companies, thanks to ZALA's intelligent solutions, 70% events are recorded in real-time, which significantly reduces the response time to a threat.

In 2025, ZALA T-16 systems at the oldest oil and gas field of the fuel and energy complex surveyed over 5 million km of routes. This is equivalent to 13 Earth-Moon distances or 6 return flights. The result: thousands of incidents averted, cost savings, and a guarantee of industry uptime.

«We have seven to eight months of winter. The equipment must work without fail, despite frost, snow or polar night. ZALA T-16 was originally created as an industrial complex to work in Russia, taking into account our weather realities. Therefore, its key feature is not just frost resistance, but complex adaptation to the climate of northern regions. This year we set a new record - the minimum temperature outside the aircraft during air monitoring operations was -42°C. The flight was conducted in a normal mode».

The 2025 statistics speak for themselves: over 5 million kilometres, ZALA complexes passed in the interests of the fuel and energy sector.

According to him, ZALA UAVs, equipped with high-quality optical and thermal imaging equipment, enable remote surveys of vast and hard-to-reach areas at any time of day. They can remain airborne for over four hours, traveling over 75 km from their launch site. A mobile laboratory based on a high-mobility vehicle ensures the systems' efficient operation in the field.

Thus, as practice has shown, the ZALA T-16 system significantly expands inspectors' capabilities for promptly detecting forest fires and protecting the taiga from violators. It helps not only record violations but also collect evidence, including equipment numbers and the precise coordinates of the fire location.
