Drone data for power and utilities.
Inspection of transmission lines, substations, solar plants, wind turbines and hydro assets – with less downtime and no climbing.
The challenges we solve
-
Assets are vast and remote
Transmission corridors and solar parks stretch for kilometres, making foot patrols slow and expensive.
-
Working at height is hazardous
Tower, turbine and stack inspections traditionally need climbing crews, permits and outages.
-
Faults are invisible to the eye
Hotspots in panels, joints and insulators only show up in thermal imaging.
What you receive
- Visual and radiometric thermal imaging of panels, strings, joints and insulators
- Annotated defect reports with location, severity and photographs
- Transmission corridor mapping including vegetation encroachment
- Wind turbine blade and tower inspection imagery
- Substation and switchyard thermography
- Before-and-after records for maintenance and insurance
Every project includes a flight plan, a data-quality check before we leave site, and a walkthrough of the results with your team.
How a project runs
One accountable team from permissions to final report.
-
Scope and permissions
We agree outputs and accuracy, check the airspace zone and obtain the permissions the Drone Rules, 2021 require.
-
Plan
Missions are planned in GoDrona GCS with ground control, overlap and safety margins set for your site.
-
Fly
Certified pilots fly to your site’s safety rules, with live telemetry and failsafes configured.
-
Process and deliver
Data is processed, quality-checked and delivered in the formats your engineers and software use.
Typical uses
-
Solar plant commissioning and periodic thermography
-
Line patrolling after storms
-
Vegetation management planning along corridors
-
Turbine blade condition monitoring
-
Dam, penstock and spillway inspection
Safety and compliance
All flights follow the Drone Rules, 2021 and DGCA requirements, using registered aircraft and certified remote pilots. We work within your permit-to-work, exclusion zones and site induction, and carry appropriate third-party insurance. Data is handled under our privacy and security practices and shared only with people you authorise.
Questions
Which areas do you cover?
We are based in New Delhi and work across India. For projects abroad, we can supply software, training and planning support, and partner with local operators where needed.
