UTILITY
Transmission and Distribution (T&D) power systems require periodic inspections to ensure safety and reliability. Unmanned aircraft make it possible easily reach difficult-to-monitor areas without the cost of expensive bucket trucks or specialized climbing equipment.
POLE INSPECTIONS
Imagery Highlights
Skyline Drones has relevant industry experience stemming from aerial operations and training with Southern California Edison (SCE). Our Chief Pilot often travels bi-monthly to train and certify new SCE pilots in the Los Angeles area. Some of the benefits of powerline inspection includes cable analysis, short circuits, blown transformers and can help eliminate conditions that may likely result in power and cable outages.
