Britain From Above
Symbion Power and PDG Helicopters star in a clip from BBC series Britain From Above
Whilst carrying out thermal imaging surveys for CE Electric, we were approached by the BBC to film us inspecting the power lines for their new series "Britain From Above".
This took place in a location in Yorkshire during a mornings survey. As you will see from the footage, the series of hot-spots our camera system picks up, is important to the distribution network operators in order to maintain a reliable supply to it's millions of customers.
