Drone Solutions for Electricity
-
Construction, Planning & Design
Benefits
Power Construction Planning
Map large areas to acquire detailed, precise data using drones. Project teams can optimize power line designs based on accurate geographic coordinates.
Site Survey
Project teams can rely on cost-effective drone solutions to efficiently visualize reality and collect surveying data needed to evaluate large worksites.

Construction Management
Progress Monitoring
Drone solutions, along with image stitching and 3D modeling software help teams stay fully informed on site progress and resource allocation – keeping projects on time and on track..
Over Power line Stringing
Heavy-lifter drones can carry cables to string power lines through complex geographies such as valleys or rivers.
As Built Condition
By documenting on-site data throughout a project life cycle, contractors can easily track changes and build as-built models that reflect changes in detail before accepting the final project.
Asset Digitization
Build high-definition 2D maps and 3D models of facilities and vertical structures using survey-grade drones, illustrating inspection results digitally.
Benefits
-
Power Grid Management
Benefits
Vegetation management
Quickly map power line corridors, creating accurate 2D and 3D models that measure the distance between vegetation and power lines, helping to maintain a safe clearance distance.
Asset Integrity Management
Conduct frequent, on-demand inspections to monitor the safety, reliability, and integrity of the power grid, improving efficiency and eliminating risks.
Detailed Inspection
Acquire standardized inspection data from automated drone inspections that identify defects accurately.
Thermal Inspection
Gain real-time temperature readings of assets using drones equipped with radiometric thermal sensors to immediately identify abnormalities.
Fault Inspection
Capture the status of the asset from multiple angles using drones to reveal any faults or defects and address them in a timely manner.
Nighttime inspection
Conduct inspections in lowlight conditions or at night using a drone equipped with a spotlight.
-
Power Generation Management
Benefits
Boiler Inspection
Send drones instead of inspection personnel into the boiler for an automated, complete internal inspection without shutting down opeartions, while keeping inspectors safe.
Wind Turbine Inspection
Conduct automated flights up and around wind turbines to document their conditions and zoom in to defects for timely repairs.
Solar Photovoltaic System Inspection
Gain real-time temperature readings of solar panels using drones equipped with visual and radiometric thermal sensors to immediately identify abnormalities.
