Proposed transmission line corridor crossing forested terrain

Permitting & regulatory review

Powerlines & transmission.

A proposed route, flown before it’s built. The corridor is rebuilt with the site’s own vegetation and lighting, so the route can be judged from the ground and from the air.

Challenge

Transmission routes cross land people care about; a line on a map doesn’t answer how it will actually look from the ground or the air.

Solution

Route flyovers over real terrain showing tower placement and corridor at true scale.

Impact

Gave stakeholders a shared, accurate picture to use in route discussions.
