Powering the Future of Energy

with Precision Aerial Intelligence

At Overwatch Aviation, we understand the immense pressure on today's energy leaders. Your mission is to deliver reliable power while navigating complex challenges: maintaining aging infrastructure, preventing costly downtime, ensuring crew safety, and planning for sustainable growth. We provide the critical aerial intelligence to turn these challenges into opportunities for unmatched operational excellence.

Transformative Services for the Modern Energy Sector

Thermal Anomaly Detection & Predictive Maintenance

Move from reactive repairs to predictive intelligence. Our ITC-certified thermographers use advanced FLIR Boson+ thermal sensors to scan your electrical substations, transformer banks, and distribution lines. We detect minute temperature variations—as subtle as <30 mK—that signal impending failures, corrosion, or load imbalances.

This allows you to schedule targeted maintenance during planned outages, preventing catastrophic failures, reducing fire risk, and avoiding millions in unplanned downtime and equipment replacement costs.

Wind Turbine & Solar Array Inspections

Maximize your renewable asset uptime and ROI. Our autonomous drone systems conduct detailed inspections of turbine blades and solar panels 3-5 times faster than traditional methods, with no need for costly climbers or crane rentals. We capture high-resolution 64MP imagery and centimeter-precise data to identify micro-cracks, blade erosion, soiling, and panel defects.

The result is a comprehensive digital twin of your renewable assets, enabling you to prioritize repairs, validate warranty claims, and accurately forecast energy output and maintenance budgets.

Transmission & Distribution (T&D) Grid Mapping & Planning

Build and maintain a smarter, more resilient grid. Using RTK/PPK-enabled drones for survey-grade accuracy, we create photorealistic 3D models and orthomosaic maps of your right-of-ways and infrastructure. This data is invaluable for:

Vegetation Management: Precisely identify encroaching tree limbs to optimize trimming cycles and prevent wildfire ignitions or outages.

Grid Hardening & Expansion: Plan new line routes, assess terrain, and conduct virtual site surveys with pinpoint accuracy, drastically reducing planning time and civil engineering costs.

Storm & Disaster Response: Rapidly assess damage across hundreds of miles to deploy crews efficiently and accelerate restoration times.

Generation Facility Monitoring & Volumetrics

Gain total visibility over your generation assets. For fossil fuel and renewable plants, we provide:

Stockpile & Volumetric Analysis: Automatically calculate coal, biomass, or aggregate stockpile volumes with 98%+ accuracy, ensuring precise inventory management and financial reporting.

Facility Integrity Surveys: Monitor structural health of cooling towers, stacks, and containment areas with high-resolution 3D scans, tracking wear and corrosion over time.

Environmental Compliance Documentation: Conduct efficient visual and thermal monitoring for emissions control, spill detection, and water discharge points.
