Real results at the world's
most critical facilities.

The Challenge

Hartsfield-Jackson serves 100M+ passengers annually across a cable tunnel complex spanning 18 miles of 14kV underground transmission infrastructure. Traditional periodic inspections left months-long visibility gaps. A single unplanned outage at ATL carries estimated losses exceeding $50M in cascading costs — air traffic delays, baggage system failures, and terminal disruption.

Results

• 108 RADIX cameras provide 24/7 coverage of all critical feeders, disconnects, and tie points
• PowerIntel + Sigma Delta Tau analytics identified dozens of actionable anomalies, each corrected in planned windows
• $8M+ in quantified avoided downtime and remediation costs (2020–2024)
• Zero unplanned outages attributable to monitored conditions across 5+ years of continuous operation
• Shared infrastructure (fiber backbone, PI System historian, WattsApp.AI) later extended to Mercedes-Benz Stadium at a fraction of greenfield cost

The Challenge

With the 2026 FIFA World Cup bringing global broadcast attention to Atlanta, Georgia Power's Network Underground group needed to harden Mercedes-Benz Stadium's transformer vaults to the same standard as Hartsfield-Jackson. The challenge: achieve equivalent coverage without the cost of a greenfield deployment.

The Solution

• 20 RADIX cameras installed in all stadium transformer vaults — same camera platform as ATL
• Stadium fiber ring connected to Georgia Power OT network on shared DWDM channels from ATL deployment
• Tags appended to existing ATL PI System™ historian — zero separate infrastructure required
• WattsApp.AI SaaS layer delivers SDT analytics across both facilities from a unified operator view
• Result: FIFA-ready power reliability at a fraction of greenfield deployment cost

The Challenge

Nuclear generation plants operate under the most rigorous reliability and regulatory standards in any civilian industry. Balance-of-plant electrical systems — which support every auxiliary function from cooling water to emergency diesel generators — must meet the same zero-defect standard as primary safety systems.

The facility's existing predictive maintenance program relied on periodic thermographic inspections that could only be performed during outages or low-power windows. A persistent monitoring layer was needed to provide continuous condition awareness between scheduled inspection events.

The Solution

• Power Intelligence deployed persistent far-field thermography across switchgear lineups, motor control centers, and BOP electrical rooms — from safe distances outside energized equipment boundaries
• The Neuron Field Data Collectors aggregated thermal data alongside existing process and protection relay data for multi-variable correlation
• SDT analytics built baselines for every measurement point across all operating modes and seasonal variations
• Multiple developing thermal anomalies identified during the initial monitoring period — all resolved during the next planned outage window before reaching corrective maintenance thresholds
• Continuous data stream supports 10 CFR 50 Maintenance Rule documentation and NRC inspection readiness

The Challenge

Urban utilities rely heavily on underground distribution infrastructure — network transformers, switches, and cable systems housed in subsurface vaults. These assets are among the most difficult to monitor in the entire distribution system: confined spaces, hazardous atmospheres, and inaccessibility during normal operations mean they are typically inspected only on long cycles or reactively after failures.

Vault failures in urban environments carry severe consequences: extended outages affecting dense customer populations, hazardous gas accumulation, and structural damage requiring major civil work to repair.

The Solution

• PowerVault units deployed in underground vaults — providing continuous thermal imaging of transformer bodies, cable terminations, and joints from within the vault
• Multi-sensor monitoring: thermal, gas detection (methane, CO, hydrogen), moisture/flooding, and intrusion detection in a single integrated unit
• The Neuron hub at the surface aggregates data from multiple vault units via mesh communication — no trench work required
• PowerIntel analytics provides fleet-level visibility across all monitored vaults from a single dashboard
• Several developing cable termination failures identified during the first monitoring year — each corrected at planned work windows before causing an outage

The Challenge

Shunt reactors on 500kV transmission lines are critical, aging assets with limited monitoring options. Personnel cannot safely approach energized high-voltage equipment for close-range inspection, and the infrastructure costs of traditional monitoring make comprehensive coverage impractical at remote substation locations.

The IRIS Solution

• PoleVault stabilized sensor mounts positioned at safe standoff — monitoring shunt reactors, switchgear, and buswork without entering the high-voltage environment
• RADIX radiometric cameras with licensed SDT analytics provide continuous thermal monitoring at up to 500-foot range
• Neuron gateway provides secure communications for legacy substation equipment lacking modern cybersecurity protocols
• Starlink connectivity delivers always-on remote data access without reliance on local network infrastructure
• Fully autonomous operation — no personnel required at the site for routine monitoring
