Grid Tower
Cost-effective maintenance
Insulator cleaning without the danger
Dirt buildup on power grid tower insulators cause power loss and demands routine cleaning. Traditionally, service crews traveled to remote sites, manually climbed the grid tower, and performed the required service, or a helicopter with water jets was used. Both traditional solutions involved significant safety risks and high operational costs.
Our Pressure Washer drone, equipped with a powerful 2,900 psi (20 MPa) water jet, cleans insulators from distances of up to 10 feet (3 meters). Its onboard AI-powered image recognition system automatically identifies insulators, adjusts the water jet’s aim and trajectory for optimal cleaning, and logs each session for future servicing. This enables predictive maintenance, improves long-term asset management, and reduces both cost and risk of injury.
