Radiometric thermography, LiDAR, and digital twins for transmission lines, substations, and critical electrical assets — hot inspection, with no power outages and no human risk.
CHALLENGES VS. SMART SOLUTIONS
Topography and Terrain Modeling
We generate Digital Elevation Models (DEM), Surface Models (DSM), and Terrain Models (DTM) with millimeter-accurate georeferenced contour lines — a cartographic base for conceptual design and structural drawings, exportable to CAD and GIS (.DWG, .DXF, .TIFF).
Aerial IR Thermographic Inspection
Preventive diagnostics and intensive inspections analyzing thermal signatures in the non-visible infrared spectrum using industrial radiometric sensors (640 × 512 @ 30Hz).
LiDAR Mapping and High-Penetration Topography
We deploy multi-return enterprise LiDAR laser sensors to penetrate dense, thick foliage. We simultaneously capture the true geometry of the ground and the conductors, generating high-density point clouds (.LAS / .LAZ) with 1–2 mm structural precision for accurate calculation of line profiles, cable deformation, and catenary measurement.
Right-of-Way and Vegetation Control Studies
Automatic identification of vegetation interference and Right-of-Way risks. Millimeter-precise location of fallen trees or vegetation that violates mandatory minimum clearance offsets.
Context Digitalization, Digital Twins, and BIM Models
We fully digitize the physical reality of highly complex assets in high-risk or inaccessible areas, such as hydroelectric dams, photovoltaic plants, and transmission towers. We build digital twins and high-density 3D meshes 100% compatible with BIM environments (Revit and AutoCAD, Plant 3D).
Field-captured data becomes organized information for technical, management, and maintenance teams.
Precise data and geospatial information for better decision-making
Inspection of a 69 kV power line
Inspection of a 69 kV power line, topographic profile generation, and 3D substation modeling for maintenance and new designs.
Drones and GIS to assess power lines
Experience presented at CVU2025 on the use of drones, LiDAR sensors, and ArcGIS to inspect existing power lines and design new routes. Over 60% reduction in planning time and minimal human exposure.
