Accurate Powerline Inspections
Transmission and distribution networks are the lifelines of modern energy infrastructure. Regular inspections are essential to prevent power losses, detect potential faults, and ensure continuous operation. Traditionally, these inspections have been costly, time-consuming, and often dangerous due to difficult terrain and high-voltage environments.
Why Drone-Based Powerline Inspections?
- Safety First – No need for crews to work near live lines or in hazardous terrain. Drone inspections eliminate high-risk climbs and exposure to electrical hazards.
- Time-Saving – Our DJI Matrice 30T can cover kilometers of transmission lines in minutes, collecting high-resolution visual and thermal data in a single flight.
- Cost-Efficient – Reduce the need for scaffolding, helicopter flights, or lengthy manual checks while minimizing system downtime.
- Data You Can Trust – High-precision, repeatable flight routes ensure consistent image capture and measurable change detection over time.
- Thermal Detection – Built-in infrared imaging identifies hot spots or abnormal temperature patterns in wire clamps, insulators, or knife switches before failures occur.
How Our Clients Benefit
With Weider360’s drone-based powerline inspections, you gain a comprehensive digital overview of your transmission and distribution networks — without interrupting power flow. You’ll be able to:
