As part of CORE’s annual maintenance program, an FAA-certified contractor is continuing to operate unmanned drone aircraft in the utility right-of-way in the Greenland-Palmer Lake area now through February. The drones will be used to visually inspect roughly 1,700 poles and electrical equipment, after which CORE crews and contractors will make repairs to any identified deficiencies.
Along with their drone contractors, they will likely see CORE lineman inspecting poles and equipment on foot. They use their drone and foot patrol simultaneously to be as efficient and thorough as possible. CORE is committed to maintaining a safe and reliable system. They appreciate users' understanding while they complete this important work.
