Power Transmission & Utilities

Transmission corridors, pipelines and substations mapped end to end: LiDAR for conductor sag and vegetation clearance, thermal for hot joints and failing components, orthomosaics for route planning and right-of-way management.

Sensors we fly for this work: LiDAR, Thermal, RGB.

What we map

  • Route and corridor survey for new lines
  • Vegetation encroachment and clearance
  • Conductor sag and tower geometry
  • Thermal inspection of insulators and joints
  • Substation and solar plant mapping
  • Right-of-way and asset mapping

What you receive

  • Classified point cloud
  • Clearance reports
  • Thermal inspection reports
  • Corridor orthomosaic
  • DTM
  • Asset GIS layers

Delivered in your coordinate system and in the formats your GIS or CAD team already uses.

How the project runs

  1. 1

    Scope

    We confirm the site, required accuracy, coordinate system and deliverables, and arrange flight permissions.

  2. 2

    Fly

    Platform and payload are matched to the terrain and output. Ground control is set with DGPS so every flight ties to the ground.

  3. 3

    Process

    Photogrammetry and LiDAR data are processed and checked against ground control before anything leaves our hands.

  4. 4

    Deliver

    Orthomosaics, DTMs, point clouds and GIS layers arrive in your formats, with support while your team puts them to work.
