About Infravision

Infravision provides aerial robotic systems to automate and modernize the construction and maintenance of power grid infrastructure. The company was founded in 2018 by CEO Cameron Van der Berg, a robotics engineer with a background in high-voltage electric power systems, and Chris Cox, a military veteran with extensive operational experience. Van der Berg, originally from South Africa and a graduate of James Cook University with a degree in mechanical engineering, was inspired to find a better way to build power lines after starting his career in the field. He and Cox, whom he met in a spearfishing shop, combined their expertise in robotics and military drones to establish Infravision, initially focusing on connecting new solar and wind farms to Australia's grid.

The company's core offering is the TX System, a fully integrated solution that combines heavy-lift drones, intelligent ground equipment like an electric smart puller tensioner, and specialized stringing hardware. This system is designed to string power lines for transmission and distribution, including extra high-voltage lines up to 765 kV. The technology serves as an alternative to traditional methods that rely on helicopters and ground crews, which are often slower, more hazardous, and cause greater environmental disruption. Infravision's drone-based approach allows for faster project completion, enhanced safety for workers, reduced community disruption, and a smaller environmental footprint, particularly in challenging or inaccessible terrain.

Infravision operates on a B2B model, providing its specialized equipment and services to clients such as utility companies, contractors, and infrastructure developers. The company's revenue is generated through long-term partnerships, equipment leases, and service agreements for specific projects. Major clients have included PG&E in California, BC Hydro in Canada, and Transgrid and Powerlink in Australia. Headquartered in Texas, the company has completed over 40 projects across four countries and is expanding its operations in North America and scaling its U.S. manufacturing. Infravision has raised a total of $114.5 million in funding, including a $23 million Series A round in 2023 and a $91 million Series B round in November 2025, led by GIC, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund.
