LiDAR technologies offer efficient and accurate method to surveying transmission lines and towers. Aerial surveys allow energy providers to assess and monitor areas of vegetation encroachment, measure sag in the wires, locate position of towers and much more.
The benefits of utilizing drones for inspection and mapping of transmission lines are clear. They can avoid high risk helicopter inspections especially in difficult to access areas, reduce the cost and time to complete inspections, enable more frequent inspections, maximize service by avoiding power outages and they create a historical record from imagery.
LiDAR and photogrammetry aerial payloads are ideal methods for collecting location data of surface utility features and topographic characteristics. Contact Spitfire Drone Survey for more information.
Using thermal cameras mounted on drones allows for quick detection of leaks and defects to pipeline insulation. Early detection ensures prompt response and repairs preventing further damage, accidents, and financial losses. Utilizing drones to identify damage to oil and gas infrastructure is more efficient and cost effective than by traditional methods.
We start by understanding your project needs and target output. We will review the location to ensure safe and legal flight and verify any regulatory requirements.
We will arrange to be on site at the optimal times during your project to capture the initial scan and subsequent progress update. Our team of certified and insured pilots will ensure minimal disruption to site activity.
After the flight, we process and data and prepare it for your use. We provide the appropriate file types and formatting to fit your workflow.
Independent measurements collected from traditional survey techniques are compared to our processed product to confirm our data is accurate.
Using our product from the data processing, we generate deliverables catering to our clients’ individual needs, including digital terrain models, grading plans, earthworks reports, monitoring reports, various point cloud classifications, 3D design overlay and integration of high precision total station/survey grade GPS measurements with aerial survey data.

“We recently chose to have Spitfire Drone Survey look after all of our project completion quantity verifications.We have been thrilled with the services they offer, they are fast, professional and provide quality end products that we are happy to share with our customers.To top it all off they provide their services at a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend their services, the finished results exceeded our expectations.”
"The data is absolutely fantastic. Comparing to the “original” high-altitude lidar, it’s now obvious that it was smoothed pretty aggressively, and your data gives us the real shape of that canyon."
