INTRODUCTION

From the Department of Advanced Aerial Inspection Techniques, we provide different solutions for carrying out regulatory or preventive aerial power lines inspections (medium and high voltage power lines inspection) that involve the use of data capture equipment such as:
 

With this equipment we can carry out a visual inspection (aerial cameras of up to 150 mpx and HD video); thermographic inspection; ultraviolet inspection, LIDAR distance measurement, and 3D modelling to obtain a digital twin or an aerial topography. Our overhead power line inspection services aim to verify the integrity of operational power lines through a combination of the aforementioned aerial power inspection techniques. It is a fully customizable service that can be easily adapted to any customer inspection plan. This service incorporates a review of existing inspection plans to propose new scopes and improvements and our equipment can be used by helicopter or drone.
