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.
