For over a decade, a regional utility struggled to fund the replacement of two aging wooden transmission lines. Traditional reports failed to convince decision-makers until DetectOS conducted a one-day UAV inspection of 96 structures. AI analysis revealed critical issues like rotten poles and corroded hardware, leading to a multi-million-dollar rebuild approval in just 10 minutes.

Early-Life HVDC Transmission Line Inspection Prevents $1M+ Outage
A North American utility underestimated early-life risks for its HVDC renewable transmission line.
