Problem
Traditional power line stringing methods are often slow, costly, and environmentally disruptive, requiring extensive vegetation clearing and posing safety risks for workers. Modernizing existing power grids and constructing new lines can be particularly challenging in remote, urban, or environmentally sensitive areas.
Solution
Infravision provides drone-enabled solutions for power line stringing and hardware installation, increasing grid capacity and automating power line construction. Their TX System combines unmanned aircraft, an electric smart puller tensioner, and a power supply within a compact, off-road trailer. This system enables rapid and safe deployment for transmission, distribution, and emergency response projects, minimizing environmental impact and reducing the need for manual labor. The aerial robotics and software solutions facilitate conductor stringing, OPGW installation, and hardware upgrades in both energized and static line configurations.
Target Audience
Infravision serves energy and utility companies, as well as contractors and EPCs involved in power grid modernization, new line construction, and emergency repairs.
