RAVAN AIR RAVAN AIR provides underground & aerial inspection services for oil/natural gas & other industries.

- Underground mapping services and underground pipeline inspection services are increasingly sought-after; we have mastered the technology and skills to provide the most current, detailed and reliable underground services.
- These services include the use of a probe and camera to detect defects, misaligned joints, deviations, crossbores, structural conditions, infiltration and inflow, lost items, general mapping and more for the utility, oil and gas pipeline and construction industries.
- We also provide UAV services as a contractor for the oil and gas industries and as a service provider for the oil and gas, utility infrastructure, industrial, construction, landfill and telecommunications industries.
- UAV services include: methane laser scanner, FLIR and HD imaging and video with coverage throughout the continental United States.
- Located in Conneaut Lake, Pennsylvania, RAVAN AIR was started in February of 2018 by Raymond and Ivan Hershberger, Mark Sakach and David Rock after recognizing a growing industry need for safe, productive and efficient probe and camera operators, UAV contractors and consulting services.

If your facility runs steam and condensate loops, heat loss is operating cash ev***rating into thin air.

Most teams only catch steam leaks when a visible v***r plume appears. But the most expensive losses happen silently inside the piping. When a high-pressure steam trap fails open or insulation degrades, your system loses crucial temperature differentials, leading to runaway boiler fuel costs, lost condensate energy, and increased risk of pipe-damaging water hammer.

A Steam & Condensate Line Thermal Delta Audit finds these hidden issues instantly.

Using calibrated radiometric inspection, RAVAN AIR maps surface delta-T profiles across lines, traps, and isolation valves. We show you which components are blowing live steam, which are backed up, and BTUs loss.

Stop energy loss, protect equipment, and help the bottom line.

When a suspected gas leak triggers an emergency audit, every minute counts for site safety and environmental compliance. But what is the fastest way to locate the plume?

Walking miles of pipeline with handheld sniffers provides precise PPM readings, but sweeps take hours and put personnel directly in harm's way. When every second matters, ground sensors cannot match the speed of the sky.

Aerial Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) provides a more efficient emergency response. By mounting specialized infrared sensors on aerial platforms, RAVAN AIR scans infrastructure in minutes. We visualize fugitive methane and hydrocarbon emissions in real time, pinpointing exact leak coordinates so your maintenance team can deploy safely and immediately.

Trenchless boring is a major upgrade for infrastructure, but hitting an underground utility is every operator’s nightmare. Utility strikes are costly, cause massive delays, and, most importantly, endanger your crew.

That’s why Gold Shovel Standard and SafeLandUSA compliance are absolutely critical on the job site. They aren’t just bureaucracy; they are vital for saving lives and budgets.

At RAVAN AIR, we are committed to supporting that rigorous safety culture. Our high-precision GIS mapping and subsurface utility locating services provide the accurate, actionable data you need before boring begins. We help you map a safe path, preventing strikes and ensuring you remain fully compliant.

Don’t risk your project or your people. Drill smarter and safer with RAVAN AIR.

Ever tried navigating or mapping a subterranean pipe run without GPS? It’s a challenge that many utility managers and engineering teams face daily. Knowing exactly where your infrastructure lies, vertically and horizontally, is crucial to avoid catastrophic strikes, ensure regulatory compliance, and plan maintenance effectively. But traditional GPS tools go dark the moment you go underground.

At RAVAN AIR, we map the unmappable. 🗺️

We’ve perfected precision XYZ mapping specifically for GPS-denied environments. Using advanced inertial navigation and robotic technology, we create high-accuracy 3D models of your pipe systems, even deep underground or within shielded industrial complexes. Don't base critical decisions on outdated, inaccurate schematics. Get the exact spatial data you need for complete asset awareness. Start your next project with absolute confidence.

Landfill gas (LFG) collection systems operate under brutal conditions. Differential ground settling, thermal cycling, and corrosion put headers, lateral lines, and flare piping at constant risk for undetected methane leaks.

Foot surveys take days, put crews in hazardous terrain, and miss elevated structural issues.

At RAVAN AIR, we modernize infrastructure monitoring. Using industrial UAVs equipped with optical gas imaging (OGI) and radiometric thermal sensors, we conduct fast, comprehensive pipe integrity audits. We pinpoint fugitive emissions, detect thermal anomalies along header runs, and inspect flare stacks safely from above, with zero operational downtime.

We deliver high-precision mapping and actionable data to keep your site compliant, safe, and efficient.

Stormwater systems present tough environments: sharp offsets, heavy debris, drop structures, and tight bends. Standard CCTV crawlers often get stuck or miss critical defects when they cannot maneuver past these physical obstacles.

Steerable crawlers solve this. With independent wheel drive and multi-axis steering control, these specialized tractors navigate complex pipe geometries without losing traction or tipping.

🚨How RAVAN AIR Delivers

At RAVAN AIR, we deploy advanced steerable crawler systems equipped with pan-and-tilt zoom cameras. Our field technicians capture precise diagnostic data through difficult stormwater lines in a single pass, saving time and eliminating costly blind spots for your project site.

Keep your infrastructure compliant and flowing without unexpected excavation costs.
