EVERSOURCE DRONE INSPECTIONS

The drone returns form a demonstration. New Braunfels Utilities is using a drone to inspect about five miles elevated electrical lines rather than the traditional method of visual inspection by an employee in a bucket. The drone flown by Survey and Mapping LLC of Austin will film and conduct thermal imaging of the power lines under the $35,000 trial contract on Friday, July 13, 2017

Eversource pilots will be using aerial drones to record photos/video of our infrastructure along a small portion of our right-of-way in Woburn on Tuesday, Wednesday 7/26, 7/27Drone Fact Sheet[56074]. Our work will occur in the ROW near the Woburn Substation on Lake Avenue.
