To whom it may concern,
Ernest Ziesman of Skydrone UAVS has provided consulting and pilot services to SNC Lavalin for UAV inspection flights on Altalink 500 KV and 240 KV Power Transmission Lines and substation’s for inspection of structures and aerial marker cones.
UAV flight services were provided of approximately 15 hours flight time in a non-energized environment and an additional 20 hours in an energized environment, providing high definition photographs.
This resulted in substantial reductions in cost over traditional helicopter coupled with an increase in safety.
Sincerely,
Steve Sharron

In the companies attempt to immediately identify and correct any potential problems they looked to use UAV technology. Mr. Ziesman identified a small quad copter equipped with an 13 MP video recorder for the inspection of the individual cones. The inspection was successfully completed in the same time frame as a conventional helicopter however the inspection was accomplished at a dramatically reduce cost and no risk to life.
