Technology for Transmission Line Construction
Infravision’s technology combines decades of engineering and aviation experience to offer first of its kind, the TX System
Reduced Human Risk
Elimination of pilot risk through automation
Reduced Environmental Impact
Tension stringing methodologies negate the need for land clearing which minimises impact to local fauna and vegetation
Increased Productivity
Multiple systems working in tandem, with pre-stringing crews working ahead of stringing crews
Infravision and TransGrid partnered to develop a safer methodology for stringing the 992 transmission line in Burrinjuck Gorge, near Yass.
This followed a recent TransGrid decision to explore a safer alternative to using helicopters for works taking place in close proximity to power lines.
Drones were considered the most suitable option for stringing taking into account safety, cost and environmental factors. Infravision was selected based on our approach to problem solving and safety, our engineering experience and our aviation background.
Anthony Armstrong, Senior Program Manager Lines at TransGrid, said: “This was a fantastic effort by all involved. It was especially pleasing to see the works completed without incident and in a timely manner using an innovative new method.”
