Inspection, maintenance and mapping of medium and high voltage power lines for transmission and distribution operators — RTE, Enedis, HEP and grid operators across Europe.
Aerial power line inspection — medium and high voltage — is essential to ensure the reliability of the distribution and transmission network. Professional drones now represent the most effective solution for this mission.
Equipped with high-definition cameras, thermal sensors, LiDAR and specific measurement probes, our drones perform precise diagnostics in complete safety, without service interruption or human exposure to hazardous areas.
High-resolution inspection of pylons, cables, sleeves, insulators and protection equipment. Detection of defects invisible to the naked eye.
On-board thermography reveals abnormal heating (faulty connections, phase imbalances, overloads) before failure or incident.
Non-destructive, live-line evaluation of compressed joint sleeve electrical resistance, enabling precisely planned maintenance operations.
Early detection of corrosion and measurement of residual galvanic protection thickness on conductors.
Installation of Dynamic Line Rating sensors directly on live conductors, without power interruption or ground-level human intervention.
This innovative method significantly reduces operating costs and accelerates the modernisation of electrical infrastructure.
LiDAR and photogrammetric mapping of thousands of kilometres of lines, with RTK system for centimetric accuracy.
Precise measurement of vegetation near conductors — arc flash risk prevention and pruning planning.
Verification of maintenance works and services carried out by your operators or subcontractors.
Timestamped, georeferenced digital archive, comparable from one campaign to the next.
For the most demanding missions, we deploy a flying and rolling hybrid drone, specifically designed to operate safely on live transmission lines, from 120 to 315 kV.
Our hybrid drone carries measurement probes developed specifically for live-line power inspection. Precise, non-destructive analysis, without outage.
Non-destructive evaluation of the electrical resistance of compressed joint sleeves on aerial conductors. Enables precisely planned preventive maintenance and avoids unnecessary interventions.
Early detection of protective zinc layer degradation. The probe checks and measures the residual galvanic protection thickness, without outage or human contact.
Installation of Dynamic Line Rating sensors in minutes, directly on active lines up to 765 kV. Key for smart grid expansion.
Coupled with visual inspection, the ITC-certified thermal camera reveals overheating, hot spots and invisible electrical defects — before they cause a failure.
No more technician exposure to live-line or height work.
Hours-long inspections replacing multi-day operations.
Up to 70% savings versus classic methods (helicopter, rope access).
Inspection and intervention with no service interruption for your subscribers.
