Drones have been executing more and more missions in the infrastructure field – monitoring, inspection, maintenance, etc., helping cut costs and keeping workers out of danger. Recently, a drone was used to lift a high-voltage wire in Yuncheng, a city in north China’s Shanxi Province. The mission was part of a larger project connecting power lines between the provinces of Shaanxi and Hubei.
One end of the wire was already fixed to a transmission tower. The drone’s mission was to bring the other end to a separate tower, located in Sanmenxia City. The drone flew about 1 kilometer across the Yellow River to complete the task.
