Every span checked, ranked for the crew.

Vegetation management works best when it’s driven by what’s actually growing near the lines. ORCA flies every span on the network, flags trees inside the clearance zone and ranks them, so cutting crews go where the risk is.

Corridor vegetation demo. 1. Load the network: Import the lines and spans from your asset system, and set the clearance distances. 2. Fly every span: Each line goes to a drone. Spans are checked as they’re flown. 3. Confirm the flags: Spans with vegetation inside clearance go to your vegetation manager with images. 4. A ranked cut list: Confirmed spans, ranked by risk, sent to the crew and logged against the asset.

From what your team does today, to what the fleet does for it.

Today

The work is capped by headcount

  • Spans are inspected on a cycle, on foot, by vehicle or by helicopter.
  • Growth between inspections causes outages.
  • Cut lists are built from patchy, ageing data.
With ORCA

One operator, the whole fleet

  • Every span is checked each cycle.
  • Crews get a ranked list with images and locations.
  • Each span builds a history, so regrowth can be planned for.

Why this job needs more than one drone.

A fleet earns its place when there’s too much ground for the time available, when coverage can’t have a gap, or when people are the limit.

Too much ground

Thousands of spans

A fleet covers a network in the time a crew covers a feeder.

Drop-outs

The survey still finishes

If a drone drops out, the rest share its spans.

Experts on the decisions

Vegetation managers confirm and prioritise. Nobody drives every road to look.

Answers your team can act on.

Not hours of footage. Each output goes straight into the systems you already use.

Who it’s for

  • Vegetation managers
  • Asset managers
  • Line inspection contractors

Clearance distances follow your own standards and the regulations that apply to your network.
