Drone Power Line Inspections

Drone Power Line Inspections

-

During Storm Éowyn, we worked closely with ESB Networks to support their emergency response and power restoration efforts. Using our drone team, we helped inspect power lines, identify fallen trees, locate damaged infrastructure, and survey areas that were unsafe or inaccessible for ground crews. This aerial data allowed ESB Networks to prioritise repairs quickly and deploy their teams more efficiently, speeding up restoration for affected homes and businesses across Ireland.

For the Interconnector project in Youghal, we assisted by carrying out precision drone mapping to produce high quality orthomosaic data of the full project corridor. This included capturing overlapping aerial imagery, processing it into a detailed orthophoto, and delivering accurate geospatial outputs to support engineers, planners, and environmental teams. Our mapping helped document site conditions, track progress, and provide reliable visual and metric data that informed decision‑making throughout the project
