Distribution Pole Inspections

I have over 1000 hours capturing quality data on distribution circuits in CA, NC, SC, and FL.
Working as a drone pilot is an adventurous and gratifying profession. I've now experienced a higher level of service that was very rewarding. As a contractor for a major energy company, I was dispatched to Asheville, NC for Helene storm response. The amount of devastation, and the visual of how it happened, is so very surreal. My partner and I provided reconnaissance data in many of the hardest hit areas. Surveying the flooded Hot Springs substation and flying the mountain ridges looking for downed lines. Checking on the Walters Dam allowing a Tennessee evacuation order to be cancelled. Documenting the amount of downed poles and wires in the River Arts District, and covering the arrival of the mobile substation in Swanannoa. Please keep Asheville in your hearts, it's a special place that experienced a horrible tragedy.

My favorite drone video project. The couple with the drone at the end was a complete coincidence!
