Big Sky Power Systems · Montana & Northern Wyoming

Routine Infrastructure Inspection Solutions

Make routine asset observation part of your operational plan. Big Sky Power Systems provides autonomous drone solutions for routine infrastructure inspections, tailored to the assets and information your team needs.

Start with the assets and information you need

An inspection solution should serve a clear operational purpose. Tell us which assets need to be observed, what your team wants to see, and how the information will be used. We help evaluate equipment around those requirements.

Routine autonomous inspections

We provide autonomous drone solutions for routine infrastructure inspections. Site layout, asset access, power, connectivity, inspection frequency, and the intended workflow guide the proposed setup.

Inspection use cases by industry

Build a repeatable aerial inspection program around the assets your team maintains. We assess each application and select equipment, sensors, and flight plans to suit the site and the information you need.

Pipelines & energy corridors

Document pipeline rights-of-way, exposed crossings, access roads, and above-ground equipment. Repeat flights can help teams review visible erosion, vegetation encroachment, nearby construction, and changes after storms, then prioritize areas for a closer ground inspection.

Overhead power lines & utilities

Capture views of poles, conductors, insulators, and line corridors to support maintenance planning. Review visible damage, vegetation clearance, and post-storm conditions. Where suitable thermal sensors are included, thermal imagery can help flag unusual temperature patterns for further evaluation.

Communications towers & vertical assets

Document antennas, mounts, cables, and visible structural surfaces from planned viewpoints. Compare imagery over time to review visible corrosion, displaced components, and changes following maintenance or severe weather, helping crews plan closer inspections and site work.

Industrial facilities & commercial properties

Observe roofs, tanks, equipment yards, and other exterior assets at refineries, plants, warehouses, and commercial sites. Routine imagery can support maintenance records, construction progress reviews, and post-event assessments. Suitable thermal imaging can add another view of selected equipment and building surfaces.

Inspection scope, sensor capabilities, operating clearances, and site access are confirmed for each project. Findings support your maintenance team’s decisions and any follow-up assessment the asset requires.

Plan a repeatable workflow

Share the property location, assets, preferred inspection frequency, existing equipment, and the information your team needs to review. We discuss a practical technology setup and the operational requirements before deployment.

Data security for sensitive sites

Data security is paramount for commercial sites and critical infrastructure. We plan each solution around your requirements for access to footage and inspection data, storage, retention, sharing, and integration with existing systems. Your security policies and IT requirements guide the proposed setup.

Montana & Northern Wyoming

Based in Laurel, we welcome projects from Billings, Bozeman, Helena, Great Falls, Missoula, Butte, and Kalispell and the Flathead Valley, along with rural Montana communities. Our northern Wyoming focus includes Sheridan, Cody, Powell, Gillette, and surrounding areas. Site visits, travel, availability, and support are confirmed for each project.
