Over the past several years, a partner, Aerotec, has produced 3D engineering models for over 25,000 miles of electric power transmission facilities, for most major electric utilities (and/or their consulting engineering firms) throughout North America. These models were constructed for engineers using PLS-CADD, PoleCADD, and/or TLCADD software products.

Engineering models take advantage of all of Aerotec's airborne data products:

• LIDAR - 3D geometry
• Close-up oblique digital aerial photography (geo-referenced) of structures, obtrusions, and environmental/construction hazards
• High-resolution digital geo-mosaic aerial otho-photography
• Video (vertical and oblique, georeferenced)

Customers have the opportunity to extract additional value from all of the basic data products that go into the construction of Aerotec's engineering models. All of the data is GIS- compatible. Some additional uses of the model data include:

• Transmission Facilities Inventory
• Transmission Facilities Inspection
• Structure Location
• Joint-use Determination
• GIS-mapping
• Vegetation Management
• Other
