Services for power lines and telecommunications with drones

Increasing operator safety thanks to drones

The supervision of power lines or transmission towers is a dangerous operation, since they are structures with high voltage, there may even be limits and areas that are impossible to reach, given the impossibility of overcoming certain obstacles.

With drones, since they are an unmanned aerial vehicle, the risk and access limits disappear, also providing a greater amount of interesting data.

Drones for the control of power lines and telecommunications

Power lines and telecommunication towers need regular technical reviews to ensure regular maintenance of the structure, in order to improve results and prevent power outages.

With the advent of drones, capable of detecting possible structural defects in detail without putting the people in charge of maintenance at risk, the different inspections can be carried out in a few hours and without the need to cut off the supply.

Areas of action, drones for power lines

Maintenance

A power outage paralyzes many activities and, consequently, great economic losses, something that can be avoided with proper maintenance that identifies and mitigates risks in advance, as does the use of drones in these situations.

Prevention

Drone inspection is increasingly attractive in the electrical and telecommunications sector due, in part, to carrying out full monitoring from a safe distance for maintenance personnel, while increasing efficiency and the collection of accurate data about the structure.

Drone benefits in power lines and telecommunications

The guarantee of sustainable service

The use of drones to maintain power lines and telecommunications represents a revolution in sustainability, completely eliminating the use of cranes for cleaner technology, thus reducing energy consumption and environmental impact.

Risk-free quality

With the advent of aerial remote sensing using drones in power and telecommunications lines, it is no longer necessary for technical personnel to operate at heights, in a dangerous environment with high-voltage cables, such as electric or transmission towers.

In addition, working with drones will allow the infrastructure to continue working during supervision, without the need for cuts in the electricity supply service to the population.

Fast, Secure and Affordable Solution

The entry of drones into the electrical and telecommunications sector has been a real revolution, increasing their effectiveness and data collection and reducing the costs associated with this type of operation, whether economic or time.

The use of drones to detect irregularities in infrastructure is a quick, safe and economic solution.

Frequently Asked Questions: drones for power lines

How does a routine drone maintenance inspection work on power lines and telecommunications?

A visual aerial inspection with drones on power lines and telecommunications towers makes it possible to take high-resolution photographs and videos of the plant, and then review and analyze the supervision, with the objective of keeping detailed control of maintenance work.

However, not all tasks are merely visual, but drones can learn through their thermal and infrared sensors about possible damage or functional or structural defects in high-voltage installations.

What types of applications do drones have in electrical line and telecommunications inspections?

The main application of drones in monitoring high-voltage power lines and transmission towers is the inspection of the installation's own components.

Who can fly a drone for monitoring power lines and telecommunications?

To pilot a drone to inspect power lines, it is necessary to have a professional license as a pilot. At PAINTEC we help you with all the procedures to follow to obtain a license to fly surveillance and control drones.
