Avalex has announced that National Grid Line Inspection has selected its AVM4178Q 17” widescreen HD display and AVR8411 single-channel HD DVR as part of its video monitoring system upgrade on its fleet of UK-based Airbus AS350 and Bell 429 helicopters. “We are proud that National Grid Line Inspections has put their trust in our new-generation widescreen displays and DVRs as part of their system capability upgrade,” Tony Hatten, Vice President of Business Development for Avalex Technologies said.

“The enhanced capabilities of our new-generation video equipment will help enable National Grid crews to more accurately inspect and record the condition of more power transmission towers in less time.” “Prior to introducing helicopter-based inspections, it would take three workers a full day of dangerous work to inspect three towers,” he stated.

“Now with the combination of advanced cameras and the Avalex HD monitors and DVR, one helicopter can check as many as eight tower structures for damage in about an hour. Plus, they have the added benefit of being able to record and share HD video with engineers back at National Grid’s headquarters for post mission analysis.”
