Powerline & Utility Infrastructure Inspection
High-voltage electrical transmission tower, substation, and powerline inspections utilizing sUAS radiometric thermal imaging and optical zoom payloads. Rapidly pinpoint overheating line splices, cracked insulators, and transformer degradation.
Advanced Grid Diagnostics & Preventative Asset Protection
Electrical power distribution networks are subject to intense electrical stress, mechanical vibration, and environmental weathering. Undetected resistance heating in high-voltage splices or cracked ceramic insulators can lead to catastrophic power outages, equipment destruction, and wildfire risks. Flow Services provides safe, stand-off sUAS thermographic auditing for power utilities and industrial facility grids.
Inspection Scope & Capabilities
- Safe Stand-Off Distance: High-powered optical zoom lenses allow pilots to capture detailed serial numbers and thermal profiles while maintaining safe magnetic field standoff distances.
- Hotspot Delta-T Analysis: Instant detection of localized overheating in conductors, disconnect switches, busbars, and oil-filled transformers.
- Insulator & Hardware Degradation: Pinpoint chipped, contaminated, or flashed-over insulator strings and corroded tower steel cross-arms.
- Substation & Distribution Surveys: Rapid aerial coverage of entire electrical substation yards in hours rather than days of bucket truck deployment.
