Data Collection: Air
The majority of our work is carried out
in helicopters flying at low level alongside the overhead
power lines performing a visual inspection of the distribution
network operator's apparatus.
This can be carried out as a full engineering
patrol to just a quick safety inspection depending upon the
level of survey needed.
A typical engineering patrol can be used
to find the following items:
- Insulator damage
- Conductor problems
- Pole top rot
- Stay issues
- Tree encroachment
- Danger notices
- Clearance problems
- Hazardous areas
- Equipment left on site
- And much much more
Tree encroachment and rural care surveys
can be achieved to a very high standard from the helicopter.
We can provide a realistic view of the tree growth around
the overhead line networks, by issuing data as a spreadsheet,
which can be hyperlinked to the related pictures or video
clips if required.
To push this type of survey to the highest
level of technology and service available in the UK, we have
teamed up with PDG Helicopters and Optimal Technology to provide
video footage and high quality analysis of overhead line networks
from 11kv to 400kv.
