Data Centre Scale Capacity Additions with no Line Crews

Drone-Deployed Static Line Uprating

CapacityAir is a hybrid drone-power line crawler that physically increases transmission line capacity by applying advanced coatings directly to overhead conductors.

CapacityAir combines aerial deployment with our proven precision robotic coating application technology, enabling AssetCool’s photonic coatings to be applied directly to overhead transmission conductors with minimal site access and involvement of utility team and linemen.
