TDS “Lightning” Drone
Customised Conductor Stringing Services
We provide a superior and cost-efficient approach to pulling overhead power lines.
By harnessing the robust pulling capability of a heavy payload drone, capable of handling up to an 80 kg max payload, we reduce sagging and maintain the integrity of the line, preventing contact with the ground. This enables us to pull power lines without risking major energy disruptions.
DRONE FEATURES
Heavy Payload Drone Performance
Lightning excels in performance, capable of flying within an 1km span for conductor stringing applications. It can handle substantial loads, efficiently deploying conductors over long distances. With a robust design and advanced flight capabilities, it ensures stable and precise operations, even in challenging environments, making it invaluable for utility companies and infrastructure projects.
Fly in All Weather Conditions
Lightning is designed to excel in adverse weather conditions, capable of flying in rain and high winds. This durability ensures reliable and consistent operation, making it ideal for conductor stringing and other demanding tasks.
Navigate Dangerous Terrain
Lightning is designed to navigate challenging environments, including bodies of water, cliffs, and dangerous terrain.
Impressive Vertical Tension Capability
Lightning boasts a maximum vertical tension capacity of 50kg and Maximum Take-Off Weight of 150kg, making it ideal for demanding tasks that require lifting and transporting heavy loads.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you provide services like pole inspections and LIDAR?
Yes, we provide a full range of tailored services for utility companies, including pole inspections and LIDAR mapping. Our approach includes creating customised service packages to meet specific client needs.. Whether for infrastructure inspections, terrain mapping, or other complex needs, our services are crafted to optimise utility operations effectively.
Do you have BVLOS capabilities?
Yes, we are approved by CASA (Civil Aviation Safety Authority) for beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations. This approval allows us to conduct drone missions where visual contact with the aircraft is not required throughout the flight. BVLOS capabilities enable us to perform extensive operations such as large-scale infrastructure inspections and agricultural surveys over vast areas.
Can your drone pull the line without it touching the ground?
Yes!
Our drones provide sufficient vertical tension to keep the active line elevated, preventing ground contact. This is crucial for applications like conductor stringing, ensuring smooth operation and preventing damage. Advanced flight technology and robust design enable our drones to perform this task with precision and reliability, even in challenging environments.
