Smarter Inspections. Safer Crews. More Resilience.

Ferntech supports energy providers, maintenance contractors and asset managers working across powerlines, substations, wind farms, solar installations and underground utilities. 

Drone technology has moved from an emerging idea to business-as-usual.

Teams now rely on aerial workflows to detect faults earlier, capture digital records, keep crews safe, and cover far more ground in less time. 

By pairing proven DJI systems with local training, guidance and support, Ferntech helps you build efficient, safe and scalable inspection workflows that suit New Zealand conditions.

Our Solutions Help You Solve:

 

  • Costly downtime caused by slow or manual fault detection.
  • Safety risks when inspecting towers, poles, substations or structures.
  • Limited visibility into hard-to-reach areas.
  • Inconsistent or incomplete asset records.
  • Delays caused by incorrect GPS or as-built information.
  • Access limitations during storms or flooding.

What You Can Achieve:

 

  • Powerline & Tower Inspections:
    Capture detailed imagery of conductors, insulators and connections without climbing or shutting down lines.
  • Thermal Anomaly Detection:
    Identify hotspots in lines, transformers, connectors or solar strings before they become critical failures.
  • Digital Records for Substations:
    Create accurate visual references of switchgear and critical assets to support maintenance and training.

Wind and Solar Farms

 

  • Wind Farm Monitoring:
    Inspect blades and turbine structures with thermal sensors.
  • Solar Farm Inspections:
    Mapping of sites adds benefit through planning and construction monitoring. Use thermal drones to detect panel and string failures that can significantly affect output. Confirm faulty panels for warranty claims.
     

Team Communications and Emergency Response

  • Improved Team Communication:
    Share realworld imagery instantly to help teams understand faults and plan repairs more effectively.
  • Emergency Access & Post-Event Assessment:
    Assess storm damage, flooded areas or inaccessible terrain without sending vehicles or people into unsafe environments.
