Airpelago, a leader in power line inspection with autonomous drones, is pleased to announce its recent tender win with Ellevio, one of Sweden’s largest electricity network companies. Airpelago is contracted to inspect approximately 6,000 kilometers of overhead powerlines annually across Ellevio’s grid using autonomous drones.
“Our collaboration with Ellevio on autonomous drone technology underscores a shared vision for safer, more sustainable, and efficient inspection operations. The drone-based approach also improves the quality of the inspections, enabling Ellevio to work more proactively with maintenance to maximize grid uptime” said Max Hjalmarsson, CEO of Airpelago.
Ellevio has expressed enthusiasm about using drones for the inspections, highlighting several benefits.
“Utilizing drone technology allows us to achieve enhanced safety, reduce noise and disturbance for land owners, and improve sustainability in our operations. We are happy to partner with Airpelago to integrate these solutions into our infrastructure inspection strategy,” commented Kristian Flinth, Manager of Preventive Maintenance, Ellevio Central Sweden.
