About
Lightning Drones Innovation Pvt Ltd is a leading drone service provider in the country for Solar PV module inspections, electrical assets and transmission line patrolling, wind turbine generator monitoring and more.
Since 2015 LD has been involved in research projects for drone design, development and testing — including payload, long range, higher endurance and customised UAVs. We have completed a number of UAV mapping, surveying and GIS projects for government and non-government clients across the country. Notably, LD is part of a surveillance team of the Maharashtra Forest Department for multiple projects, including man-eater T1 tigress Avani of Yavatmal, 24/7.
Services
Eight service lines, each with its own inspection methodology and its own reporting.
A pioneering UAV service provider in the country to inspect High Voltage Transmission Lines, Towers and other assets with drones capable of ultra-zoomable visual lenses as well as best in class infra-red thermography sensors.
Drone thermography is replacing classical handheld testing of PV modules rapidly. Lightning Drones was one of the first to take up such projects, in 2017, and has completed inspection of 1000 MWp for clients across the nation.
We are proudly associated with an industry giant to inspect WTG assets at several locations in the country, with an established methodology to monitor blades, lattice towers and transmission lines using both visual and thermal drones.
Team LD worked hand in hand with the Maharashtra Forest Department on the search operation for man-eater T1 tigress Avani in Pandharkawada, Yavatmal District, supporting the ground team with 24/7 drone feed using RGB and thermal sensors.
Our in-house research and development centre takes part in design, development and testing projects. We have developed a special drone to install bird flight deflectors on live EHV earth wire for a transmission line installation giant.
Carried out frequently with ultra-zoom lenses to understand creep stresses and increased loading on towers. Drone inspection is a boon for the industry, giving up-to-date data to suit each requirement.
Government bodies now accept drone mapping over satellite imagery for their surveying work, so Lightning Drones offers UAV photogrammetry and GIS surveying for urban mapping, irrigation, illegal encroachment, forest mapping and more.
