In the research and development (R&D) Urban Futurability project, Enel Distribution Sao Paulo, is testing the use of drones with thermal cameras for inspections of underground structures. This technology makes it possible to improve agility during asset inspections, which leads to gains in the quality of the service provided to the population, reduces operating costs and even increases safety for the field team. The project will develop the first Network Digital Twin® in South America, and the use of this unmanned aerial vehicle can contribute positively to the 3D modeling of the project region, as it has a thermal and a 4K visual camera side by side. There is potential to use the device in scanning almost three hundred underground structures (transforming chambers and manholes) for initial tests, with the possibility of expanding the use to thousands of other structures. |
