Revolutionary Drone Inspection: Kiwa and Vinçotte Luxembourg Pioneer Together in Innovative Safety Technology
Strategic collaboration brings unprecedented efficiency and safety to infrastructure inspections
A significant milestone was achieved last week by Vinçotte Luxembourg, a valued member of the Kiwa Group, when two of their safety inspectors completed an intensive two-day drone training program. Julien Knipper and Nicolas Alonso were prepared, under the professional guidance of Kiwa's partner Skyebase, to integrate drone technology into their daily firesafety inspection activities, thereby emphasizing both organizations' joint commitment to innovation.

Expertise and Experience Come Together #
The dedicated fire safety inspectors from Vinçotte Luxembourg brought their years of experience to the training, where they acquired new skills that further deepen their expertise. "The training gave us a better understanding of flying drones in challenging spaces," says Julien. "Learning about regulations and best practices was particularly valuable for our practice."
Nicolas adds, "At first, getting to grips with the drone was a challenge, but thanks to the practical exercises and expert advice from the Skyebase trainers, we quickly gained more confidence. We are now fully prepared to implement this technology in our work."
Benefits for Vinçotte and Kiwa Customers #
This collaboration between Vinçotte Luxembourg and Kiwa offers significant benefits to customers of both organizations:
