Granting Utilities Inspection with exceptional Drone Technology to warrant low downtime and costs.
Empowering Utilities Inspection with latest Drone Technology
Ensure low downtime and minimize operational cost with Aerial Inspection
Equinox’s Drones manifests drone-powered solutions for Powerline Inspections, transmission Tower Inspections, substations, and Cooling Towers, etc. Over the preceding few years, our Survey Drone Service has collected inspection data from sizable utility poles and towers across the country. Focusing on excellence and effectiveness, we employ drones equipped with thermal and infrared sensors for aerial inspections. Our drone pilots have received specialized training exclusively for powerline and cooling tower inspections, establishing them as a crucial contributor to our achievements. Using thermal imaging sensors, they can witness and discover damages caused to these utilities.
Leveraging survey drone services enhanced by thermal imaging sensors enables a thorough and extensive assessment of these utilities. It has a plethora of benefits, including restored safety, diminished downtime, refined data output, increased operational efficiency, etc. The primary benefit of tower inspections using drones, for instance, is cost reduction, as the technology proves to be more economical when compared to an on-ground crew for the same assessment.
Powerline Inspection
We provide Powerline Inspection services that utilize thermal imaging methods to attain engineering-grade precision levels. Additionally, we supply geotagged data obtained through aerial inspection for a swift decision-making process. Through intense powerline inspection, we can successfully recognize the following:
- Tower Concrete basement defects
- Insulator Overheating
- Wire Overheating
- Wire Breaks
- Tower Mechanical Defects
- Wire Slag Estimation
- Installation Check
- Birds Nest
- Antenna
- Weather Damage
- Metal Rust
- Equipment Check
- Missing Components (such as bolts)
- Guyed Wire Quality
- Electric Wire Joints or Wire Break
- Cracks
Our Powerline Inspection drones furnished with ferro-magnetic protection allow us to carry inspections and fly in close perimeter to the powerline securely. An excellent alternative to traditional methods is that this survey drone service reduces costs by 30-50%, safeguards personnel, and contributes more valuable output.
Cell Transmission Tower Inspection
Our aerial inspection service assists businesses in identifying structural damage, equipment issues, and potential hazards to their cell towers. The obtained data encourages clients to dx`efeat operational failures and enhance efficiency at a cheaper cost. Tower inspections can occur with them functioning as they do, and thus, this survey drone service results in a decrease of any downtime caused by other methods. Our Aerial inspection methodology increases efficiency due to Data accuracy, reliability, live streaming, and zoom/thermal/4k capabilities. Our aerial inspection approach enhances efficiency through precise data, dependable results, live streaming, and advanced capabilities like zoom, thermal imaging, and 4K imaging.

Benefits of Powerline & Cell Tower Drone Inspection with Equinox's Drones
High-resolution data
The more detailed and accurate data delivered by a drone inspection can enable companies to proactively identify more defects, which could lead to fewer power outages and reduced repair costs.
Improved Efficiency
Utilities may find that they can save time and cost with drone inspections. For example, with a drone, substation inspections can be completed within an hour and no shut-down is required.
Low cost Inspection
Drone Inspection reduce man hours and costs by automating inspections, saving approx 30 to 50% of the cost and time when using drones to conduct power line or cell tower inspection.
