Power line inspection by drone

Drone-based inspection of power lines - safer fieldwork and better decision support.

Copture collects high-resolution image data from poles, wires and inaccessible environments. You get a structured basis for reviewing, prioritizing and planning maintenance - without climbing and with less need for helicopters.

800 masters Documented in northern Norwegian terrain in a mission for Vissi AS.
800 power line masts documented in reference assignments
UAV data collection from hard-to-reach management environments
Image data high resolution material for review and analysis
Test missions limited distance before major decisions

Inspection that starts with better data collection.

Many inspection flows are not limited by the desire to analyze, but by the quality, coverage and structure of the field data. Copture focuses on that part: collecting the right data in a safe, repeatable and useful way.

1

Less need for work at height

Drone-based inspection can reduce the need for climbing and manual access to each mast, especially in terrain where accessibility and safety are limiting factors.

2

Better overview of the facility

Systematic image collection per pole, component or section makes the material easier to review, share and follow up over time.

3

Faster route to prioritization

When field data is complete and structured, it becomes easier to identify anomalies, prioritize actions and link findings to existing maintenance processes.

Reference assignments

800 power line masts documented in Kautokeino.

In an assignment for Vissi AS, Copture documented power line pylons in northern Norwegian terrain. The assignment was carried out by drone and included planning, permitting, logistics, image collection, quality assurance and delivery of high-resolution images.

The material could then be used as a basis for further analysis and prioritization of maintenance measures.

Start with a small test mission.

For new collaborations, we recommend starting with a limited route or a smaller number of poles. This gives the opportunity to evaluate data quality, workflow and delivery format before planning a larger set-up.

Discuss a test mission
Scope of application For example, a shorter length of line or a smaller number of poles.
Delivery High resolution imagery structured for review and further analysis.
Briefing Joint reconciliation on data quality, coverage and usability.
Next steps Basis for decision on continued approach and possible expansion.

Our role: secure data collection and structured delivery.

Copture has a long and solid experience of drone-based data collection, documentation and inspection in complex environments. In power line inspection, we build on the experience from Vissi and focus primarily on what we can deliver strongly: planning, safe field execution, high data quality and structured delivery. Analysis and classification can be done in conjunction with the customer's existing systems or relevant analysis platforms.

Frequently asked questions in the first dialog.

A test mission is not about directly replacing the entire inspection process. It is about verifying whether drone-based data collection can provide you with better data, lower field risk and a more scalable way of working.

Can you handle the full analysis of errors and deviations?

Our primary offering is data collection, field implementation and structured delivery. Analysis can be carried out together with the customer's existing processes or via partner solutions where relevant.

Is this suitable for both smaller and larger networks?

Yes, but we recommend to start with a limited scope. A test mission provides better decisions on method, cost, delivery format and possible scaling.

What do you need from us to work out an arrangement?

Typically we need the approximate distance or number of poles, geographical area, desired level of detail, time window and how the material will be used after delivery.

Do you want to test drone-based inspection on a defined route?

We help you develop a practical test plan with clear scope, delivery and evaluation point.
