In order to ensure the safety and stability of power transmission lines, power companies usually adopt a variety of means to prevent trees and other obstacles on the power lines interference. Prior to the use of a laser-based obstacle removal device, the common means of obstacle removal are as follows:
Physical pruning: this is the most traditional method of clearance, suitable for easily accessible areas, but in complex terrain or high-risk areas of limited application.
Use of chemical herbicides: can reduce the frequency of artificial pruning, but need to be used carefully to avoid harm to the environment and non-target plants.
Biocontrol: reduce the threat to power lines by planting low, slow-growing plants or introducing herbivores to control the growth of vegetation. This method is environmentally friendly and low maintenance costs, but the implementation is more complex and requires long-term planning and management.
Artificial or mechanical thinning: thinning operations near power lines to remove trees that may pose a threat to power lines. This method is suitable for the management of forest belts on both sides of the transmission line and can effectively reduce the impact of tree collapse caused by extreme weather on the transmission line.
When choosing the means of clearing obstacles, the power company will consider the cost, efficiency, environmental impact and safety factors, and often adopt a combination of multiple means to ensure the safety and stability of transmission lines. But the appearance and application of Laser Obstacle Remover can make obstacle-clearing work safer and easier for power companies.
The high-energy laser beam can quickly cut off the branches near the transmission line and realize the long-distance and high-efficiency trouble-clearing operation.
Pre-preparation: conduct site surveys to assess areas and obstacles that need to be cleared. According to the situation of the site to select the appropriate laser clearance equipment. Make detailed work plan, including work route, safety measures, etc. .
Safety Protection: to ensure that the operators wear appropriate protective equipment, such as protective glasses, protective clothing, etc. . Set up security alert area to prevent non-operating personnel from entering the operating area.
Equipment debugging: according to the need to clear the tree thickness and distance, adjust the laser power and focus. Carry out small scale test to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
Carry out the clearance operation: according to the Operation Plan, gradually carry out the laser clearance operation. Pay attention to real-time monitoring the effect of laser operation, if necessary, adjust the laser parameters or operation strategy.
After-work inspection and clearance: after the completion of clearance operations, the work area to check to ensure that all obstacles have been cleared. Clean up the operation site, recycle the equipment and evacuate the personnel.
It can not only improve the efficiency and reduce the risk of manual work, but also improve the security and reliability of power transmission. However, in view of the high-energy characteristics of the laser equipment, the operation must strictly comply with the safety operating procedures to ensure the safety of workers and equipment.
PIOTEC has many years of technical accumulation in laser technology, and the technical indicators of various types of laser marking equipment developed by ourselves (marking speed, marking depth, marking quality, etc.) have prominent advantages in the market. With high reliability and safety, it can operate stably and prevent misoperation.
PIOTEC’s Laser obstacle clearing equipment can aim at the target from a distance, accurately control the direction of the PTZ, and quickly and accurately breakdown the fault object. It has anti-tipping function, night vision function, biometric security protection function, peripheral equipment identification security protection function, etc.
