• LiDAR Mapping:
Conduct precise sag analysis to measure and monitor wire sagging, ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
Detect encroachments along the Right of Way (ROW) to mitigate risks of accidental contact or damage.
•Thermal Imaging:
Detect overheating components and hotspots that indicate potential equipment failure or inefficiencies.
Substation Inspections
• Thermal Analysis:
Assess electrical substations for overheating transformers, circuit breakers, and connections.
Identify risks of equipment failure and optimize maintenance schedules.
• TStructural Integrity Checks:
Conduct visual inspections of substation structures for wear and tear or other anomalies.
Pipeline Monitoring and Leak Detection
• Use drones equipped with methane sensors and thermal cameras to detect gas leaks in pipelines.
• Identify corrosion, cracks, and structural vulnerabilities along oil, gas, and water pipelines.
• Monitor ROW encroachments to prevent illegal activity or accidental damage.
Solar Panel Inspection and Analysis
• Thermal Imaging:
Identify hotspots and damaged cells in solar panels, ensuring peak energy generation.
• Fault Detection:
Use high-resolution imaging to detect dirt accumulation, broken panels, or structural issues.
•Performance Monitoring:
Analyze panel efficiency over time to plan maintenance and optimize energy output.
Wind Turbine Inspections
