Coating continuity testing drone

A system for inspecting an equipment structure, comprising:

• an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) configured to acquire a visual image upon arriving at a desired location of the equipment structure;
• a continuity testing device disposed on the UAV comprising an electric brush configured to measure a plurality of continuity readings representing a condition of the equipment structure at the desired location;
• a marker spray coupled to the electric brush configured to spray an area of concern at the desired location based, at least in part, on the visual image and the plurality of continuity readings;
• and
• a pilot testing pit comprising a computer processor communicably connected to the UAV, wherein the pilot testing pit is configured to perform a method comprising:
• receiving, by the computer processor, the plurality of continuity readings and the visual image regarding the desired location;
• determining, by the computer processor and based on the plurality of continuity readings and the visual image, an analysis of the desired location identifying a coating defect and a defect type;
• inputting the analysis into an artificial intelligence model;
• and
• producing, by the computer processor, a verification assessment of the plurality of continuity readings and an enhanced testing technique based on the analysis.
