The showcase of FulcrumAir’s LineFly™ robot and Power Line Sentry’s Hawk Eye™ Bird Flight Diverter at SSEN Transmission marks a significant advancement in avian protection and power line maintenance. With their unmatched speed, precision, and safety, these technologies set a new industry standard, ensuring both wildlife protection and network resiliency.
Stuart Flint, Senior Overhead Line Engineer at SSEN Transmission, summarizes it best: “What we’re seeing here with this Power Line Sentry Hawk Eye™ product is that it ticks a lot more of our boxes, and also [thanks to the FulcrumAir LineFlyTM] we can properly install a higher number in the span. Compared to the traditional way of installing bird flight diverters, this is way beyond anything we’ve done previously in terms of time and safety.”
