Vertical Magazine published an article that highlights the task of providing electrical power across the U.K.
National Grid takes electricity from power stations and transmits it at up to 400kV (400,000 volts) across the U.K. Distribution Network Operators, such as Western Power Distribution (WPD), bridges the gap between that high-voltage grid and the customer.
Learn how the lightweight and compact RIEGL VUX-1LR Airborne Laser Scanner is utilized to assist WPD’s Helicopter Unit with surveying, inspecting, and reporting on the condition of equipment involved in getting electricity from the grid to the end user.
