Right-of-way runs for miles through terrain that's slow to walk, expensive to drive, and occasionally dangerous to be standing in. We fly it once and hand back the data you need to plan maintenance, document compliance, or respond to a storm — without putting a crew in the field to find out what's out there.
Corridor & Vegetation
Vegetation encroachment analysis along transmission and distribution corridors
Conductor sag and clearance measurement
Bare-earth terrain beneath canopy for accurate clearance calculation
Prioritized trim lists so crew time goes where the risk actually is
Assets & Inspection
Pole inspection and asset mapping
Hot-spot and anomaly detection on lines, connectors, and equipment
Substation and yard documentation
Right-of-way mapping and route documentation for new build
Storm & Compliance
Storm damage assessment across miles of corridor in hours, not days
Before & after documentation for insurance and regulatory reporting
Repeatable capture so each inspection cycle is directly comparable
Finding the problem before the truck roll
The expensive part of vegetation management usually isn't the trimming — it's sending crews to look. Aerial capture inverts that: you survey the whole corridor first, then dispatch against a prioritized list instead of a schedule. The same flight that flags encroachment also documents that you looked, which is half the battle on a compliance cycle.
After a storm, speed matters more than precision. A thermal and visual pass over a corridor tells you where the damage concentrated and which access roads are passable before the first crew leaves the yard — and it does it without anyone walking an energized line in bad conditions.
Sensors we use
LiDAR for clearance and vegetation through canopy. Thermal for hot-spot detection and storm response. Most corridor work uses both.
