Transmission inspection

Transmission corridors are too critical to inspect slowly

Speed is a byproduct of better engineering. DetectOS combines autonomous capture with high-fidelity AI to find the needle in the haystack before it becomes a failure. From hairline fractures to thermal anomalies, every defect is captured, analyzed, and prioritized automatically. The result is a safer, more resilient corridor—built on data you can trust.

Current inspection limitations

Your infrastructure operates continuously. Your inspection results shouldn't take months to assemble.

Month-long inspection campaigns

Inspecting hundreds of miles takes an entire season. Load cycles, weather events, and equipment degradation don't pause while you work through the backlog.

Hardware hides in inaccessible locations

Ground patrols can't see critical components. Drone or helicopter imagery can't resolve hardware details. No matter what you try, you can’t get a complete picture of what’s going on with your assets.

Data scattered across systems

Inspection findings in one database. Vegetation management in another. Structure records in a third. Compiling the complete picture for a single tower requires cross-referencing multiple platforms.

How DetectOS handles transmission scale

Rapid corridor coverage

Every component is documented with structure-level detail maintained across entire corridors.

Hardware defect detection

Identify corrosion, broken components, missing hardware, loose connections, and alignment issues rapidly with expert verification confirming every detection.

Automated asset organization

Images are automatically parsed and organized by structure and component type. Navigate to any tower and access complete inspection history, component-level detail, and supporting imagery.

Integrated right-of-way monitoring

Track vegetation encroachment, access road conditions, and foundation integrity in the same platform where hardware defects live. Complete corridor intelligence in one system.

DetectOS is built for your whole organization

Asset Engineers

Get structure-level detail with component tagging. Access historical imagery to track degradation progression and predict when intervention becomes necessary.

Field Inspectors

Review detailed imagery showing exact defect locations before climbing. Compare current conditions against previous inspections to confirm deterioration rates.

Operations Managers

Real-time dashboards show corridor health across all lines. Track inspection progress and completion status. Filter by severity to prioritize maintenance resources.

Real results: Remote transmission warranty audit

  • 618 structures inspected in 9 days
  • 322 instances of tower lean identified
  • Multiple flooded foundation issues documented
  • Evidence supported warranty claims for foundation reinforcement, preventing significantly more expensive post-warranty repairs

Frequently asked questions

What structure types does DetectOS support?


DetectOS works across every asset type you can imagine. Steel lattice towers, tubular steel monopoles, H-frames, and wooden structures. Our AI detection models recognize components and defects regardless of structure type.

How detailed is the hardware analysis?


As detailed as you’d like. You can analyze assets at the component-level of individual bolts, cotter pins, insulators, and connections. Each are identified, tagged, and assessed with annotated imagery shows exactly which component and its precise location on the structure.

Does DetectOS assess conductor condition?


Yes. DetectOS identifies conductor damage, strand breaks, splices, vibration damage, and corrosion patterns that indicate developing failures.

How does DetectOS handle foundation inspections?


Capture and analyze foundation exposure, grout conditions, and structure plumbness. Measure tower lean angles with claim-ready accuracy.
