Renewable energy is a significant piece of Canada’s energy landscape, and the process of gaining approvals to build renewable energy facilities, such as solar arrays, wind farms, and distribution networks requires a study of site conditions and topography.
GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) surveys add greater confidence to decisions involved in renewable energy projects (planned, operational or even to be decommissioned).
AEL offers UAVs to support maintenance checks on solar arrays, hydro fields or wind farms. This cutting-edge technology allows us to gather valuable insights into the condition of your equipment far faster than traditional methods. An aerial survey can collect the data needed for the regulatory approvals process in a single day.
High-definition drone footage supports mechanical and infrastructure inspections of energy infrastructure and distribution networks, including wind turbines, hydro lines, towers, transformers and insulators.
Our application of GIS on solar ground-mount sites is a straightforward process with a high degree of accuracy.
