Maintenance
A power outage can bring many activities to a standstill and, as a result, cause major financial losses. Proper maintenance using drones can help prevent this by identifying and mitigating risks in advance.
Increasing operator safety thanks to drones
The supervision of power lines or transmission towers is a dangerous operation, since they are structures with high voltage, there may even be limits and areas that are impossible to reach, given the impossibility of overcoming certain obstacles.
With drones, since they are an unmanned aerial vehicle, the risk and access limits disappear, also providing a greater amount of interesting data.
Drones for the control of power lines and telecommunications
Power lines and telecommunication towers need regular technical reviews to ensure regular maintenance of the structure, in order to improve results and prevent power outages.
With the advent of drones, capable of detecting possible structural defects in detail without putting the people in charge of maintenance at risk, the different inspections can be carried out in a few hours and without the need to cut off the supply.

Prevention
Drone inspections are increasingly attractive in the electricity and telecommunications sectors because they enable comprehensive monitoring from a safe distance for maintenance personnel while improving efficiency and the collection of accurate structural data.

How does a routine drone maintenance inspection work on power lines and telecommunications?
A visual aerial inspection with drones on power lines and telecommunications towers makes it possible to take high-resolution photographs and videos of the plant, and then review and analyze the supervision, with the objective of keeping detailed control of maintenance work.
However, not all tasks are merely visual, but drones can learn through their thermal and infrared sensors about possible damage or functional or structural defects in high-voltage installations.
What types of applications do drones have in electrical line and telecommunications inspections?
The main application of drones in monitoring high-voltage power lines and transmission towers is the inspection of the installation's own components.
Who can fly a drone for monitoring power lines and telecommunications?
To pilot a drone to inspect power lines, it is necessary to have a professional license as a pilot. At PAINTEC we help you with all the procedures to follow to obtain a license to fly surveillance and control drones.
