Lightning-Fast Inspection: Time is money, and downtime is a critical concern for utilities. Traditional inspection methods can take day's or even weeks to cover expansive transmission networks, often requiring significant manpower and equipment. Our drones, equipped with high performance LiDAR systems, can cover up to 1,500 acres per day and inspect entire transmission corridors in hours, not days. for example, a 52km power line with 142 towers can be scanned in just 2 hours, delivering actionable data almost immediately.

With rapid deployment capabilities and certified pilots who can schedule missions within hours of your request, we ensure minimal disruption to your operations. Whether its routine inspection or an urgent assessment after a storm, our services keep your projects on track and your grid reliable.

Unmatched Data Accuracy: Accuracy is the cornerstone of effective transmission line management. Our LiDAR-equipped drones generate high density point cloud data - up to 70 points per square mile - creating precise 3D models of your transmission towers, conductors, insulators, and surrounding vegetation. This level of detail surpasses traditional methods, enabling you to identify issues like sagging lines, vegetation encroachment, or structural misalignments with pinpoint precision.

Unlike ground-based surveys or visual inspections, our LiDAR technology captures comprehensive geospatial data, integrated with GPS and Inertial Measurement Unit(IMU) systems, to produce survey grade 3D maps. These models are seamlessly compatible with PLS-CADD, the industry-standard software used by utilities line design and analysis. Our deliverables empower your engineers to make informed decisions, optimize maintenance strategies, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.

Seamless PLS-CADD Integration: We understand that utilities rely on PLS-CADD for designing, analyzing, and maintaining transmission lines. That's why our Drone LiDAR services are tailored to deliver PLS-CADD deliverables, including detailed point clouds, 3D models, and topographic surveys. These deliverables allow your team to:

• Plan maintenance with precise data on tower alignment, conductor sag, and clearance issues.

• Manage vegetation by identifying encroachment risks that could lead to outages or wildfires.

• Support construction projects with accurate terrain and asset mapping for new transmission lines.

Our processed data is clean, free of noise, and formatted to integrate effortlessly into your PLS-CADD workflows, saving your team time and ensuring consistency across platforms.

Enhanced Safety and Cost Efficiency: Traditional inspections often require workers to climb towers or navigate hazardous terrain, exposing them to risks like high winds or unstable structures. Our drones eliminate the need for such dangerous tasks, capturing detailed data from safe distances using high resolution RGB Cameras, thermal sensors, and LiDAR. This not only improves worker safety but, also reduces costs associated with scaffolding, bucket trucks, and helicopter rentals.

For Instance, inspecting a single transmission tower using conventional methods can cost around 5,000 and take several day's. Our drones inspections achieve the same results in a fraction of the time and cost, delivering significant savings while maintaining or exceeding data quality.

Comprehensive applications for utilities: Our drone and LiDAR services go beyond routine inspections. They provide versatile solutions tailored to the needs of utilities:

• Vegetation management: Identify and map vegetation risks with precision, preventing outages and reducing wildfire hazards.

• Structural Analysis: Detect corrosion, cracks, or alignment issues in towers and conductors before they escalate.

• Post-Storm Assessment: Quickly assess damage to infrastructure after extreme weather, enabling rapid response and restoration.

• Route Planning and Design: Generate accurate 3D models for new transmission lines, streamlining planning and permitting processes.
