Electricity Asset Inspection
Electricity Asset Inspection Explained
An Electricity Asset Drone Inspection involves the use of drones equipped with specialised sensors and cameras to conduct thorough inspections of electrical assets. These inspections are essential for ensuring the structural integrity, safety, and optimal performance of these critical components in the power distribution network.
Unmatched Experience
Navigating both rural and urban landscapes, Team UAV leads the forefront of drone inspection services, conquering even the harshest environments to capture vital data on your assets. Our highly skilled drone teams employ high-resolution cameras, capable of capturing unparalleled 100MP images and 4K high-speed video frames. This enables us to identify the minutest defects before they evolve into significant problems.
Delamination Detection: Delamination, the separation of layers in materials, poses a significant threat to the integrity of electricity assets. Our expert drone pilots are trained to skillfully identify and document instances of delamination during inspections. This meticulous attention to detail allows for early detection, enabling proactive measures to mitigate potential risks. By spotting delamination early on, preventative actions can be taken to ensure the structural soundness of the electricity asset, enhancing safety and reliability.
Damage Assessment
Electricity assets are exposed to various environmental factors and external forces that can cause damage, compromising their functionality and safety. Team UAV's drone inspections excel in uncovering different forms of damage, ranging from structural cracks to impact marks.
This thorough assessment conducted by our skilled pilots ensures that no damage goes unnoticed, facilitating prompt and targeted repair efforts. By addressing damages swiftly, operators can maintain the reliability of the power grid and minimise disruptions to service.
Rust Identification: Rust accumulation on electricity assets can weaken their structural integrity over time, leading to safety hazards and operational inefficiencies. Utilising precision technology, our drones can detect and highlight areas affected by rust with accuracy. This essential information provides asset managers with timely insights for corrosion control and preventive maintenance strategies. By addressing rust promptly, maintenance teams can extend the lifespan of the assets and reduce the likelihood of costly repairs or replacements.
Missing Furniture Identification: Components or fittings missing from electricity assets can pose operational risks and impact overall performance. Our drone pilots meticulously inspect assets for any signs of missing furniture, such as insulators or cross arms. By providing a comprehensive overview of the assets' condition, these inspections aid in effective asset management and maintenance planning. Identifying missing components early on allows for timely replacements, ensuring the continued functionality and safety of the infrastructure.
Vegetation Encroachment Monitoring: Vegetation encroachment poses a significant threat to the clearances around electricity assets, potentially causing safety hazards and service interruptions. The keen eyes of our drone pilots are trained to identify and assess vegetation encroachment accurately. By monitoring vegetation growth along the corridors, our inspections contribute to maintaining clearances and preventing potential hazards. Timely intervention based on these assessments helps utilities uphold regulatory compliance and ensure the reliable operation of the power transmission network.
