Members of BGE’s Drone Team use the versatile Skydio drone to assess the condition of natural gas main that runs under bridges and overpasses throughout our service area.

Using drones to conduct this important work provides inspectors with improved data and mitigates the risks faced by technicians inspecting these crossings in the field. BGE’s UAS bridge pipeline patrols are just another example of innovation at work to ensure the safety and reliability of our system.
