PLS-CADD Deliverables
Based on collected LiDAR and Image data:
- We create a DTM or "min-tin" from the LiDAR.
- From feature coded LiDAR data we create the PLS-CADD file and model the structure and conductor and wire conditions at the time of acquisition taking into account the existing weather case.
- After establishing the correct phase geometry of the conductor attachments in the method 1 model, we can apply the correct wire type (provided by the utility) and modeling the existing wire and stringing tensions.
- Assuming the tension and wire models are accurate, we then can derive additional geospatial products using the reporting functions inside of PLS-CADD (i.e. danger trees, fall in violations, NESC clearance violations).
- All of the reporting features can then be deployed into a GIS or Google Earth or extracted to a vegetation management software such as Clearion 5.5.
