Aerial Utility Surveys for Power Lines

Highly experienced in power line surveys, we not only grasp the demanding schedules involved in the UK utility market but also possess the skills, experience and accuracy required to get aerial surveys completed quickly and safely. Acting as a reliable mechanism for your power line inspection and reporting system.

Safety is our primary objective to you, which is why we have invested in the best equipment to date. Hosting an array of high specification equipment that is unparalleled within the UK and teamed with our young, robust helicopter fleet, we can support your projects with superior performance on task.

Specialist Equipment

Aerial surveys for power lines are supported by a state-of-the-art camera system, which encases four sensors into a compact and lightweight gimbal. The fully digital, gyro-stabilised configuration records multiple sensors in one flight. Allowing aerial surveyors to cross-reference HD footage for video, thermal and IR corona. The system also captures ultra-high definition imagery to support recall analysis and in-depth reporting. Making it perfectly designed for demanding power line surveys.

In addition, a bespoke cloud-based reporting software allows detailed data acquisition. Inspections can be analysed quickly throughout the flight for fast reactive asset management of any major hazards and anomalies that are detected. Ensuring smooth running management throughout the scope of the aerial inspections. Software is always tailored to requirement and data integration between software packages is set at the start of a contract.

 

 

Project experience

We have extensive experience on large-scale contracts for energy and utility giants including: Scottish Power Energy Networks, Electricity North West, Cyient Group, Moors for the Future, United Utilities and the Environmental Agency. You can be assured your power line surveys and utility work will always be conducted efficiently and to the highest standard.

Overhead Power line Surveys & Inspections

 

Housing the capability to conduct efficient overhead line inspections, from thermal and statutory inspections to conditional assessments. The team can swiftly observe each asset on a tower from a safe working distance. Reducing the risks associated with traditional inspection methods via foot patrol.

In addition to routine inspections, a large fleet of aircraft and experienced pilots enables us to operate urgent reactive surveys in the event of storm damage or poor weather conditions. Taking pride in the fast response provided to power network clients; often forecasting possible requirements by monitoring approaching storms, aircraft can be placed on standby in readiness.
