UAV Recon's network of certified journeymen linemen has expertise across electrical lines from 4kV to 345+kV. From structure damage to component-level wear and tear, our linemen identify & diagnose defects for criticality & repair requirements including parts and labor hours.
Natural Disaster: Rapid Response
During natural disasters, response time is critical. Traditional data capture and inspection methods fail to provide stakeholders with immediate actionable data. While faster than ground-based data collection, traditional UAV-based inspection requires post-processing that can take hours or even days. For that reason, UAV Recon is a certified enterprise-level NAR customer. With NAR, UAV Recon delivers real-time natural disaster & damage assessment reports. In recent flooding events, UAV Recon delivered assessment reports in under 30 minutes.
