DroneDeploy for Power Generation, Utility, and Distribution
Lower inspection costs and keep your team safe with high-resolution digital twins of every site and asset in your portfolio.
Asset Inspection
- Safely & securely fly using the DroneDeploy mobile app in autonomous or manual flight
- Easily get aircraft in complex environments & capture quality data for mandated inspections
- Cut costs and increase worker safety by eliminating expensive equipment, helicopters, and scaffolding during routine inspections
- Assess and tag issues through high-resolution imagery and 3D models of each asset
- Visualize radiometric thermal data to assess electrical lines to catch issues early
Asset Management
- DroneDeploy provides visual evidence of equipment, site, and asset conditions with precise location tracking and condition documentation
- Increase trust with stakeholders by sharing an accurate digital twin of each asset in Esri
- Improve relationships with local or federal agencies and create a sense of transparency by sharing aerial maps
DroneDeploy fosters greater communication across teams... it brings better communication from drone pilot to end-user.
- Elizabeth Hall, Lead Engineer, Eversource
Operations, Maintenance, & Construction
- Go from a multi-person ground-based crew to one person surveying an entire site in 10 minutes – a fraction of the time and cost compared to traditional surveying
- Overlay design or plans on top of aerial maps to better plan and verify progress
- Utilizing drone surveys equipped with thermal cameras pinpoint hot spots with colored heat signatures
- Send a drone to first verify conditions and issues before sending a person into a hazardous environment
- In the case of a dispute, drone imagery provides geo-tagged, time-stamped historical data to all appropriate parties
Emergency Preparedness
- In an active emergency, leverage DroneDeploy Live Stream to bring the drone’s perspective right to your distributed team
- Easily map, annotate, and identify areas of concern quickly with aerial maps
- Pulling DroneDeploy maps into your Esri ArcGIS instance gives workers an in-depth look at which assets were affected and offers a historical record for years to come
[The Esri] integration removes a lot of manual steps and headaches because the data from DroneDeploy is automatically available in Esri. It changed my entire process, making it smoother and highly efficient.

Transmission & Distribution Line Inspection
Vertical Flight and the drone inspection workflow allow you to inspect structural elements from the safety of the ground. Use plant health analysis to detect issues and understand vegetation encroachment on vital assets.
Nuclear Cooling Towers & Tank Inspection
With automated drone flight paths and 360 Walkthrough, you can virtually survey and inspect your site. Digitize each asset to create a baseline for your entire asset portfolio. By understanding exactly where and what condition your assets are in, you will improve efficiency and communication across your teams, allowing for better planning and resource allocation.
Inventory Management
Use DroneDeploy automated stockpile measurement and volumetric analysis to calculate and measure how much coal or ash is on site. Share a stockpile report with the field team to stay on top of how much inventory has been added and removed.
Security & Operations Management
Automate and centralize flight, operations, and compliance with Drone Operations Management. Integrate into applications you already use, such as Esri, and leverage APIs to integrate into custom systems. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit with secure cloud infrastructure, DDoS protection, and ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 1 & 2 certification.
