The primary responsibilities of an overhead line inspector are to ensure the safety, reliability, and proper function of the power grid. Inspectors perform routine and emergency inspections of poles, towers, conductors, and hardware to identify any issues before they cause a power outage or safety hazard. Their key duties include:

• Routine Patrols: Conducting visual or drone-based inspections to check for sagging conductors, damaged insulators, or corrosion on hardware.

• Defect Identification: Pinpointing common issues such as vegetation encroachment, animal interference, or loose connections.

• Reporting: Documenting all findings, including the location, type of defect, and recommended corrective action.

• Emergency Response: Responding to incidents like storm damage or equipment failure to assess the situation and plan for repairs.

While we don't inspect lines ourselves, our comprehensive range of equipment is used by inspectors and maintenance crews worldwide to perform the essential repairs that follow their reports.
