The largest threats to the utilities company are blackouts caused by vegetation encroachment on power- lines and power- line sag which reduces the transfer of electricity and can make the power line- ultimately- fail.-

Lidar is the most accepted solution for utility surveying due to its efficiency and cost effectiveness.-?Traditionally- utility surveying has been- done in fixed wing- or helicopter platforms.- With the advances in lidar technology, these surveys are moving towards UAV platforms.- AGI- will provide the most- cost effective- method to survey power lines whether it be with a- fixed wing- or- UAV- platform.- We can produce 3D model of the power line corridor and classify the Lidar data to identify features such as towers, power lines, terrain and vegetation.- With this information we can go one step further and produce a report identifying danger areas of vegetation encroachment and powerline sag.-
