Power
Population growth, increased demand from wireless media, digital technology, automated consumables and electric transportation present a considerable challenge whilst addressing flood preparedness and carbon reduction initiatives and renewable energy sources to protect the environment. Infoterra has been working with UK power companies for the last ten years providing geospatial and integrated information solutions to support these new challenges.
Geospatial Products & Services
Using the latest imaging and lidar technology - Rapid Surveyor™, Topographical survey, Aerial surveys - and a clear understanding of existing geospatial systems, Infoterra can deliver the geospatial data you need to make informed key business decisions. To meet Energy organisations' specific requirements we have developed the following services:Overhead asset location verification
Geographical verification of the position of network overhead power line assets (11kV – 400kV), compliant with ENA TS43-8 and using digital aerial photography.
Clearances
3D profiles of network overhead power line assets (11kV – 400kV) generated from airborne lidar or digital aerial photography to comply with ENA TS43-8 clearance requirements.
Vegetation Management
Identification and mapping of vegetation in proximity to overhead power line assets to comply with ENA ETR136 – “Vegetation Management Near Electricity Equipment” (Principles of Good Practice).
Flood Risk Assessment
National flood risk assessment mapping for fluvial, pluvial, coastal and dam break flooding potential to support flood resilience initiatives in line with Pitt Review 2008 “flood preparedness” initiative.
