Drone Inspection

Powerline inspections

Reduce outages with fast and frequent powerline inspections, flown beyond the visual line of sight (BVLOS) and piloted remotely from our Remote Operations Centre.

Reduce costs and safety risks whilst enabling defensible asset decision making with consistent, audit-ready drone captured data.

Rapid-response fault patrols

Find faults quickly and effectively after storms, fires or outages, helping you get your network back online faster

  • Rapidly deployable either through fixed "Drone-in-a-Box" installations or mobile pilots that can swiftly assess damage
  • Reduces delays owing to site access or procuring heavy equipment
  • Helps prioritize repairs and restore power, reducing outage penalties

Network condition monitoring

Reduce risks of outages through proactive maintenance, with lengths of transmission or distribution lines inspected in hours rather than days

  • Automated BVLOS drone flights, 4-8x cheaper than survey helicopters with minimal emissions, helping net zero goals
  • Multiple data outputs, intelligently analysed, giving you insights to get ahead of issues and potential outages
  • Fixed “Drone-in-a-Box” installations, piloted remotely, make predictive maintenance more reliable
  • Digital twin models provide detailed network oversight

Detailed asset inspection

Hard-to-reach and hazardous infrastructure easily surveyed, removing heavy equipment and risks to ground crews

  • High-resolution imagery spots loose connections and insulator damage
  • Thermal cameras detect overheating, overloads and failing hardware
  • Reduces exposure to falls, electrical hazards and difficult terrain
  • Enables proactive maintenance over reactive fixes

Vegetation encroachment

Advanced data analytics identifies and anticipates problematic vegetation that poses risks to your network

  • Drones with LiDAR precisely measure vegetation clearance, giving actionable insights to protect your network whilst ensuring regulatory compliance
  • Vegetation type logged and analysed, providing insights on potential future growth rate
  • Helps you take action on vegetation to prevent outages and wildfire risks

Remote ops centre

Our Remote Operations Centres (ROC) are proprietary control and command facilities from where we plan and execute our operations. 

Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including bespoke solutions and partner technologies, our ROCs feed live flight, environment and telemetry data to our pilots.

We have permanent ROCs in the UK and Singapore, as well as mobile and temporary ROCs in each of the countries we operate.
