We’re helping utility companies reduce costs, increase efficiency, and minimize risk by incorporating advanced drone technology and processes into their operations.
We empower professionals with the latest UAV (drone) technology, offering drone training and equipment to those at electric companies, oil & gas companies, wind farms, hydroelectric power plants, and solar panel companies.
Collectively, U.S. utility companies spend up to $8 billion annually on power line inspections and maintenance alone.
By supplementing (or replacing) expensive helicopters and ground crews with drones, utilities, and energy companies can massively improve efficiency and lower their spending.
Power line maintenance costs U.S. utility companies billions of dollars annually and poses serious risks to human safety.
Learning to conduct maintenance tasks and inspections with drones can minimize the danger and labor costs.
Through thermal imaging payloads, drones are able to quickly detect hazardous materials and mitigate potential gas leaks.
Many companies also use new technology to conduct above-ground pipeline drone inspections.
Heights and space restrictions make it difficult for solar panel inspectors to gather data up close.
Utility drones can easily collect information in a matter of minutes, without risking the safety of human inspectors.
Maintenance Inspections for an 800-foot-tall turbine is difficult on a calm day – and downright treacherous in windy conditions.
To minimize risk, many companies are turning to commercial-grade drones to quickly handle a wide range of maintenance tasks.
Dam safety has become an increasingly pressing issue.
Using commercial-level drones allow operators to easily conduct inspections, identify hazardous areas, and assess the structures of dams and plants – without forcing any workers into potentially dangerous situations.
Utility Commercial-level drones make it possible to inspect and maintain spaces that were once difficult to reach, such as chimneys, refineries, and offshore rigs.
This minimizes the time spent on each task and reduce risk by preventing workers from jeopardizing their safety.
Utility companies need methods to safely inspect damage caused by extreme weather conditions such as: thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and other weather-related circumstances.
By operating a drone to assess the aftermath, workers can avoid encounters with debris and other threats.
Steel City Drones Flight Academy offers drone training for utility companies throughout the United States. Whether your team is looking to purchase drones or incorporate them into your operations, we’re your team.

Dual Vision
Tap to switch between visual, thermal, or split-view feeds for different project needs.
Maximum Flexibility
The lightweight and portable M2EA can take off in less than a minute. Zip through complex operating environments thanks to the faster ascent and descent speed.
Industry Applications
• FIREFIGHTING: Quickly locate victims, identify hot spots, and screen for fire risks to draft targeted rescue plans while keeping personnel safe.
• SEARCH & RESCUE: Scan search areas to locate stranded persons and quickly dispatch rescue teams.
• LAW ENFORCEMENT: Gain critical intel in conflicts or emergencies to make timely and informed decisions without putting teams in harm’s way.
DID YOU KNOW – In 2023, Remote ID will become a gateway to the future when it comes to long-distance / beyond-line-of-sight flying.
For utility industries, this will open up the possibilities for more extensive inspections, such as long-distance utility lines and pipelines.
