Cyberhawk shortlisted for Energy Award

Cyberhawk Innovations has been shortlisted for the Energy North Awards 2011* (www.energynorth.co.uk ). The nomination in the “Best Service Supply” category has been made by Cyberhawk customer, Scottish & Southern Energy plc (SSE).

The company is the world’s leading supplier of aerial inspection and surveying services using UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles).

Cyberhawk has recently carried out a number of inspection and surveying projects for SSE ranging from inspection of cooling towers and electricity pylons to topographical land and route surveys. This has culminated in the granting of a three-year framework agreement worth six figures to provide remote inspection and surveying services.

Malcolm Connolly, co-founder and technical director, Cyberhawk Innovations said: “We are absolutely delighted to have been shortlisted for this award. SSE has put its faith in us to deliver a highly professional inspection service and it pays testament to the skills and dedication of the Cyberhawk team that we have been recognised in this way.”

Cyberhawk uses UAVs – Unmanned Aerial Vehicles – equipped with HD video and still cameras to carry out technical inspections of a wide variety of structures including live flare towers, chimney stacks, wind turbines and electricity pylons.

*The Energy North Awards are designed to recognise the contribution businesses and individuals have made to developing the energy industry in the Highlands & Islands whether it be a project, service, technology or investment in skills.
