Case Study: CEGADRONE cuts transmission tower inspection times by 60% with Pix4Dscan and PIX4Dinspect

60% faster transmission tower inspections with drones

CEGADRONE, an asset management and inspection company based in Madrid and Segovia, needed a faster and safer way to inspect transmission towers in Spain while helping clients comply with new environmental regulations for powerlines. Traditional inspections were slow, labor-intensive, and sometimes required dangerous climbs or even helicopters, making it difficult to keep records current.

Using Pix4D’s PIX4Dscan and PIX4Dinspect, CEGADRONE built a cloud-based workflow to capture drone imagery, create intelligent 3D digital twins, and measure, annotate, and share inspection results. Pix4D helped CEGADRONE cut tower inspection times by 60%, reduce on-site time to under an hour, and deliver results in as little as 1 hour 25 minutes after upload, while also reducing the number of photos needed from 90 to 18 for accurate models.
