Oversee your assets across the energy sector with clear, accurate aerial imagery from Vexcel. Bring greater oversight and increased situational awareness to your projects with data that allows you to mitigate risks, stay competitive, and keep ahead of environmental impacts.
Managing the immense stretch of energy assets across the country is daunting; electric and pipeline corridors crisscross all over the land, city-sized solar farms are reaching into every rural areas. The demand for monitoring energy infrastructure has never been greater. Location intelligence has become an invaluable resource to help energy managers with reliable, accurate data. Combined with AI/ML capabilities, quickly extract data to assess environmental impact, perform site exploration, and more.
Aerial data is paving a new way for detecting and assessing renewable energy sources. With Vexcel’s comprehensive library, scan dense urban areas and use AI/ML to identify the number of solar panels within a given area. Take advantage of Vexcel’s nationwide coverage to map wind farms, monitor the infrastructure, and plan for new energy resources on into the future.
Q: How is aerial imagery used in the energy sector?
Vexcel aerial imagery helps energy companies plan projects, map infrastructure corridors, inspect assets, and better understand changing ground conditions at scale. Energy teams use Vexcel imagery for transmission corridor mapping, vegetation analysis, solar and wind planning, environmental review, asset management, and infrastructure inspections.
Q: What types of energy infrastructure can be monitored with Vexcel imagery?
Vexcel imagery can be used to review transmission lines, substations, solar farms, wind farms, pipelines, battery storage facilities, access roads, and surrounding infrastructure. Oblique imagery and elevation models also help energy teams better understand structures, terrain, and nearby conditions.
Q: How does Vexcel imagery support solar and wind farm site planning?
Vexcel imagery helps energy developers evaluate terrain, land use, nearby infrastructure, access routes, vegetation, and surrounding conditions during solar and wind farm planning. Vexcel elevation models also support slope analysis, line-of-sight review, drainage analysis, and broader site suitability workflows.
Q: What resolution is available for energy corridor mapping?
Vexcel provides high-resolution aerial imagery at 7.5cm and 15cm resolutions depending on the collection program and geography. Vexcel imagery provides time-stamped, highly detailed, highly accurate views commonly used for corridor mapping, infrastructure review, vegetation analysis, and energy planning workflows.
Q: Can Vexcel imagery be used for environmental impact assessments?
Yes. Vexcel imagery and elevation models help organizations review land conditions, vegetation, waterways, terrain, infrastructure impacts, and environmental changes over time. Energy, engineering, and government teams use Vexcel imagery to support environmental analysis, permitting, restoration planning, and impact assessments.
