How Gridvision Transformed Power Line Inspections with Rapid Mobile Scanning

Gridvision, an Australian power line inspection specialist, had built a strong reputation in large-scale aerial capture projects. Working with trusted partners equipped with aircraft and high-end sensors, the company excelled at scanning expansive mine sites and state grids across Queensland, the Pilbara, and New Zealand. However, managing director Mark Spinks identified a recurring service gap: clients often needed small, ad‑hoc captures (eg, a single substation or short corridor) that didn’t justify the cost of major aerial campaigns (typically $200k–$250k AUD) and where drone deployment added regulatory and operational complexity. The company needed a solution that could bridge the gap: something capable of delivering accurate point Cloud data for smaller projects while maintaining the quality standards their utility clients demanded.  Download the case study to find out Emesent’s Hovermap STX addressed this gap and significantly reshaped Gridvision’s business.
