For instance, Bureau Veritas, in December 2018, collaborated with Delta Drones, in an effort to emerge as the leading TIC company, primarily to serve the agricultural sector in Africa. The partnership is aimed at developing solutions for precision agriculture, based on crop inspection, by drones. Bureau Veritas was also involved in a joint investment project (remote evaluation of coatings/corrosion on offshore machiner y and marine structures/ships (RECOMMS)), to develop drones that have the capability to inspect steel structures in enclosed spaces.
