Transpower New Zealand Limited

Supply of Aerial LiDAR Services

This RFP relates to the purchase of LiDAR Capture and Processing Services across parts of the Transpower transmission line network as instructed on an annual basis.

Transpower has completed a comprehensive helicopter based aerial data capture program, which provides a baseline model of vegetation encroachment into the lines corridor for the entire national transmission network in New Zealand.

Transpower is now seeking a partner to continue the program for the next 3 years, to provide ongoing identification and assessment of vegetation encroachments and potential violation of the minimum clearances under the transmission lines. This is envisaged to be an annual survey and data capture across selected parts of New Zealand with each year’s capture estimated to be between 30% to 40% of the entire network. The required volume and location of the LiDAR data capture will be determined and described in a Statement of Works (SOW) negotiated in August of each year.
