As-built survey accuracy

Drone inspection, as-built survey and asset twins for generation, transmission and distribution operators.

Energy assets are large, distributed, dangerous to inspect and expensive to shut down — which makes them ideal for capture and twinning. We fly solar fields and transmission corridors, scan substations and process units, and bind the resulting models to the asset register and the SCADA tags.

What we usually walk into

  • Rope-access and shutdown-dependent inspection regimes
  • Retrofit clashes discovered during the outage window
  • Asset registers that do not match what is on the ground
  • Thermal defects found on the next scheduled walk, not on the day

From the field

A 90 MW solar operator moved from quarterly walk-throughs to monthly thermal flights and started catching string faults inside a billing cycle.

String faults caught inside a billing cycle

Quarterly walk-through inspection of a 90 MW field meant string faults could run for eleven weeks before detection. Each undetected string is measurable lost revenue, and the inspection itself took two people four days.
