Drone Services

At Pross Construction Company, Inc., we leverage advanced drone technology to enhance the safety, reliability, and efficiency of the utility infrastructure we build and maintain. Our FAA-certified pilots are equipped with state-of-the-art Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and advanced sensors to handle complex inspections, data collection, and emergency assessments without disrupting service or endangering crews.

Our utility drone services include:

• Comprehensive Asset Inspections – Utilizing high-resolution zoom and thermal imaging cameras to visually inspect poles, towers, insulators, and conductors for damage, corrosion, or wear without the need for climbing.
• Vegetation Management & Audits – Deploying LiDAR and multispectral sensors to accurately measure vegetation encroachment, analyze tree health, and identify potential fall-in risks along Rights-of-Way (ROW).
• Storm Response & Damage Assessment – Rapidly mobilizing to scout storm-damaged areas, identifying downed lines and broken poles in hard-to-reach locations to help prioritize restoration efforts and keep ground crews safe.
• Substation Monitoring – Conducting detailed thermal surveys to detect “hot spots” on transformers, switches, and breakers, allowing for predictive maintenance before equipment failure occurs.

With a focus on innovation, precision, and safety, Pross Construction integrates drone data directly into our workflow to deliver smarter solutions that keep the grid resilient.
