LiDAR UTILITY MAPPING SERVICES FOR POWER LINE INSPECTION

More than 400.000 km of experience providing LiDAR utility mapping services and analysis for power line inspection worldwide (vegetation management, ground and object clearances, PLS-CADD modelling and custom reports).

PLS-CADD

Network 3D modelling for transmission lines at different weather conditions (max temperature, wind, snow).

Clearance distances

Combining LiDAR, AI and custom algorithms for risk detection.

3D network

2D and 3D vector mapping & planimetrics for asset management and new power line works.

Vegetation management

Fully customizable offending vegetation reports for transmission and distribution.

PLS-CADD modelling services

Measuring vegetation encroachments and clearances from simulations and 3D Models of the network at different weather conditions.

The PLS-CADD LiDAR software is one of the most widely used by electrical engineers to design and analyse power lines considering all the parameters that affect them, such as cable material, wind and temperature, among others. In this way, we can use the LiDAR data as an input data that gives us the current situation and from there obtain a 3D simulation of the power line in the worst case scenario (at maximum wind and maximum operating temperature).

If you require 3D PLS-CADD modelling and simulations for safety distance analysis in different environmental conditions of wind and temperature from LiDAR data, we can help you. We have a great deal of experience and a qualified team.

3D PLS-CADD modelling services from LiDAR for utilities, at different weather conditions.
Assignment of material type and environmental conditions at the time of data capture.
Analysis of safety distances (to the ground, between cables, objects) and dangerous vegetation depending on the material and in different wind or temperature conditions.

PLS-CADD reports in different weather conditions

After obtaining the network modelled in 3D for different weather case scenarios it is possible to apply different safety distances and vegetation analysis to them and to obtain accurate reports for each situation.

Worst case scenarios on high wind and temperature, icing, different materials… all them can have their own analysis and report to help utilities to manage their network more efficiently.

Formats and outputs can be fully customized depending on each project needs and clients.

3D utility mapping services

Dielmo3D has extensive experience in generating full 2D and 3D utility mapping and power lines design of overhead transmission and distribution.

Almost any network feature can be vectorized and designed in 3D using accurate LiDAR point clouds. From fast catenary drawing to highly detailed and complex 3D utility mapping design and network models containing insulators, guy wires, stapling pints, phases of the main conductor, etc.

3D power lines can also be imported into PLS-CADD to reduce costs when modelling lines in different weather case scenarios (temperature, wind, icing, etc.).

La correcta vectorización 3D de cualquier línea aérea existente (transmisión o distribución) es una base de garantías sobre la que desarrollar cualquier proyecto técnico de estudio y mantenimiento de la red. Además, esta cartografía 3D precisa y detallada es el punto de partida para proyectos de modelado y simulación implementando diferentes factores ambientales ( viento, temperatura, hielo, etc.), gracias a programas como PLS-CADD.
