Inspection and Surveys in the Utilities Sector

With the use of drone inspection and survey services, you can now gain vantage points which were literally impossible to traditional methods just a few years ago and you can inspect significant distances of power line in a single drone flight. ADC’s licensed pilots are fully qualified to pilot commercial grade drones to provide a quicker and more accurate power line inspection and monitoring service than traditional methods while also offering a significant financial saving and reduced risk of human life. ADC contracts with qualified Power Line Engineers when performing this work.

With a drone, we can capture 4K HD video and images that can be stored for analysis by utility power and infrastructure experts and reused for comparison inspections in the future.  When using it thermal infrared cameras it can also capture radiometric images that maintain thermal data within their metadata. This in turn can offer significant benefits as weak areas can be spotted and monitored more regularly and appropriate repairs can be conducted in a controlled manner.
