LineGuide is an application that helps power companies inspect their transmission lines. Inspectors may inspect lines, poles, and substations and take pictures to support their findings. Transmission Line Coordinators (TLCs), Contractors, and Linemen may view all necessary repairs from the Repair View. Workflow is supported with engineering documents attached to lines and Driving Directions.

We strive to keep the power flowing both,
For cities, towns, and countryside,
