drone transmission line inspection

Transmission Lines

Aerial systems equipped with LiDAR capture data from target areas of powerline, transmission line and substation infrastructure. This data is than processed to create a 3D map & model that shows the distances between powerlines and surrounding vegetation. This  data allows operators to focus their efforts on areas that pose the greatest threat to power lines and power supply.

                       LiDAR

Because LiDAR is fast and accurate, operators can use the data to detect sagging wires, dangerous trees, and other potential hazards in real time, at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods ie. helicopters.

Photogrammetry

Aerial mapping is another option for powerline inspection that is cost-effective, safer and saves time. An aerial survey can map up to 40 km of transmission lines in a single day, saving grid operators time on the ground and reducing labor costs by up to 50%. Aerial mapping uses a full-frame camera and in-house algorithms to produce lidar-quality data.
