The National Authority for Remote Sensing and Space Science Authority, headed by
Dr. Islam Abu Al-Magd, Chairman of the Authority, organized a workshop to discuss cooperation between the Authority and the Egyptian Electric Holding Company; under the auspices of Dr. Ayman Ashour, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, to present the outputs of the applied project, “The Three-dimensional Spatial Lifting of the Ground Laser Towers of High Pressure Line Towers on the Ismailia and Suez desert roads, crossing the cities of Shorouk and Heliopolis" in the presence of the Commission's scientists, researchers and representatives of the Egyptian Electric Power Holding Company.
In his statement, Dr. Islam Abu Al-Magd, Chairman of the National Authority for Remote Sensing and Space Sciences, stressed the importance of convening such a workshop to exchange information and scientific research products for the benefit of society and to support relevant agencies and ministries in maintaining State capabilities, reviewing the importance of advanced laser surveying technology and its potential for use in the electricity sector, given its considerable potential for use in the electricity sector.
He stressed the importance of integrating efforts among the various institutions to maximize the benefits of research and outputs for the benefit of society, industry and the national economy.
And on his side, Dr. Brennan's offer. The Authority's supervisor of the Lidar Laboratory supervised the introduction of the Authority's capabilities. The Authority is working on the development, design, assembly, launch, operation, reception and analysis of the data, reviewing some of the Authority's remote sensing activities. The Agency has an aircraft that carries out aerial surveys with digital cameras, lasers and high spectral waves, highlighting the most prominent projects in which it has participated to develop and upgrade some archaeological, tourist and other areas and buildings using laser scans.
Engineer Abdurrahman Ali, Research Assistant, Division of Aerial Photography and Aviation, and Engineer Schumann, Research Assistant, Division of Aerial Photography and Aviation, provided a detailed description of the laser system, the differences between lasers and the integrated monitoring station, and the successful Experiments carried out by the Authority in various sectors, including the electricity sector and power towers, as well as a presentation on how digital processing could be done to monitor some problems, such as the erosion of cables and towers.
The meeting ended with several important recommendations. The two sides agreed that the Remote Sensing Authority would assist in identifying the erosion of electrical links to resolve the problem before it occurred. In addition, a team from the holding company would explore the capabilities of the laser and the JPR system to carry out a survey of the ground cables, in order to determine their number, depth and route to new installations, the coordinates of the cables to locate them during drilling and the implementation of a system of towers to avoid damage.
On the margins of the workshop, the Commission's delegation conducted a tour of the Satellite Data Analysis Division, the Earth Satellite Reception Station and the Space Division of the Commission. They commended the potential of the Commission and stressed the possibility of increased cooperation between the two sides in several projects in the coming period.
