Inspection Services

Discover the advantages of Bowman’s utility inspection capabilities. Compared to traditional methods requiring more resources and manpower for less comprehensive data, our UAV approach is efficient and minimally disruptive, ensuring swift deployment without operational shutdowns. This approach empowers us to conduct comprehensive utility inspections, including transmission and distribution condition assessments, asset inventory audits, circuit phasing and vegetation encroachment monitoring. Collecting data via UAV enables us to swiftly identify missing assets, detect broken equipment and pinpoint potential failures with precision. Beyond efficiency, our utility inspections significantly reduce risks associated with physical fieldwork and obtaining access to challenging locations.

Our clients benefit from Bowman’s vast knowledge of contemporary procedures including planimetric and topographic mapping, Digital Terrain Modeling (DTM) and automated 3D point clouds. Some of our specialty services include:

  • Topographic Mapping
  • Digital Terrain Modeling (DTM)
  • Automated 3D Point Clouds
  • Transmission & Distribution Condition Assessment
  • Near-Infrared Sensing Capabilities
  • Asset Inventory Audits
  • Circuit Phasing
