Utility Inspection

Soarin Drone Services offers a very efficient and safe alternative to traditional electric utility inspection work. In many cases, this means costs savings by eliminating the need to deploy highly-skilled linemen and expensive equipment onsite.

Increased safety

Traditional power line inspections require inspectors to stand on scaffolding and cranes and use rope access to climb on poles. Drone surveying for the power grid eliminates the need to put people in harm's way, and line workers can safely remain on the ground while the drone operator assesses the line.

Reduced work time and labor costs

Traditional methods require a team of experienced linemen to visually inspect all lines in an area to evaluate the lines for any damage or potential problems. Drone inspection reduces man-hours and labor costs by automating inspections with low maintenance costs, saving approximately 30 to 50% of money and time.

Access to hard-to-reach areas

Drones are used to monitor vegetation encroachment along power lines, especially in hard-to-reach areas. Capable of navigating between dense trees, as well as taking off and landing in tight places.

More accurate data

Drones make it easy to fly along power lines and then take high-quality video and pictures, and inspectors are able to collect better, more detailed data than they would be using traditional methods.
