Unison Networks' helicopter is laser-mapping its 6000km network in Rotorua, Taupō and Hawke's Bay by helicopter. Unison Network's annual helicopter survey has gone hi-tech, creating a 3-D image of its network of electricity lines using LiDAR laser scanning. Unison general manager of networks and operations Jaun Park said the company was capturing data to create a "digital twin" of its network. Unison is using LiDAR on all of its 6000km network, which covers Napier, Hastings, Taupō and Rotorua.
