Streamlining Inspection and
Maintenance of Electric Power Lines
The activeG Transmission
Line Asset Inspection/Management Program (TLAMP)
greatly enhances the process of inspecting and maintaining transmission
and distribution power lines resulting in improved reliability at lower
costs. TLAMP is specifically designed to assist with the
management of conditions observed during aerial, ground and climb
& shake inspection patrols of high voltage
transmission lines.
TLAMP Features
Field Inspection Tool
Single keystroke menu driven record entry for fast assignment of inspection conditions
Inspection menu paths can be completely and easily customized through the TLAMP Menu Builder.
GPS connectivity and automatic GPS tracking.
Design Aerial, Ground, and Climb & Shake Patrols
Patrol routes can be completely and easily customized through the TLAMP Patrol Builder
GIS Enabled --uses industry standard file formats
Work Order Management
Automatically generates work orders through your work management system
Captures field repairs and updates inspection records
Field Records Management
Puts "paperless" TLAMP records at your fingertips -- in the field and in the office.
Views photos, drawings, and material lists.
Priority
System TLAMP has the ability, through the inspection
menu paths, to prioritize observed inspection conditions. With the
proper use of the priority system, TLAMP will help insure that
maintenance efforts are focused on addressing observed conditions
directly effecting safety, system reliability, and timeliness of cost
effective repairs. Conversely, money will not be spent prematurely on
the repair of items.
TLAMP Benefits:
Captures field repair actions and updates inspection records
Automatically generates work orders based on inspection results
Work order tracking progress
Field asset verification & data maintenance
Helps to improve reliability
Helps to improve safety
Helps to lower costs
Inspection Observations Having accurate inspection records and
asset data improve maintenance planning efficiencies, reduces
windshield time and minimizes the occurrence of return visits.
TLAMP’s customizable inspection menu system enables fast and
accurate collection of observed inspection conditions and asset
information is only a click away.
TLAMP
has the ability to sort thousands of records and
automatically generate work orders reducing the amount of time required
of engineering and data entry clerks from several days to just minutes.
The reduction in time is over 95 percent and what used to take several
days, now takes only minutes.
Finally,
the historical collection of inspection conditions, repair efforts and
unit costs will allow more accurate implementation of Reliability
Centered Maintenance (RCM) practices.
