sUAS Drone Tower Inspections

Why sUAS Inspections Make Dollars and Sense

Photo taken during a drone tower inspection and evaluation as this tower was going up.

Background

Towers, broadcast transmission lines and antennas are subject to extreme environmental conditions subjects to vibrations, moisture, saltwater, rain, sunlight, and wear and tear.


Complex radio and TV systems are designed and constructed to deliver a rated amount of RF power to the antenna, but without much safety margin for human exposure. This requires stringent limits on power levels whenever any work is done on the tower.


Traditionally, tower inspections are performed by trained specialists who carefully climb a tower to inspect its physical elements and make repairs. While nothing can fully replace a physical inspection, sUAS inspections bring new technology and capabilities, allowing for inspections that can be made more frequently, less expensively, and in many cases with more detail than a physical inspection often finding problems not obvious from the ground.

Lower Costs

sUAS inspections are always less expensive than hiring a tower crew.  

All Weather

Inspections can be scheduled and performed in a wide variety of meteorological conditions.  

Safety

There is no risk for injury from climbing or a fall like with a tower crew.

RF Exposure

Stations can stay on the air at full power, and there is no need to be concerned about RF exposure to a climber. sUAS inspections are much easier to schedule than those requiring a tower crew.  

Many Different Perspectives

The sUAS can capture the tower, antenna and transmission line details from just about any angle, including above the tower.  

Infrared Images

Clear information can be obtained that will allow the owner/operator to see areas of heating that are inefficient and could be the early warning sign of potential failures down the road.  

GPS Precision

GPS positioning information combined with exact thermal data at the image pixel level makes it possible to compare recent measurements with historical data to identify specific areas that may be experiencing deterioration.

Drones Do Deadly Work So You Don’t Have To

Use of Drones in the News

The fault was not visible in a ground-based TDR sweep of the line. I’m now recommending IR inspections on new line installations to avoid future problems.
