FLIR VS290-32 Videoscope Improves Safety for High Voltage Technicians at the University of Kentucky
In December 2020, a failure in an underground electrical cable on the University of Kentucky campus caused an explosion, filling the manhole with smoke and fumes. Luckily, no one was in the vault at the time, but the team of campus electricians decided they’d rather not rely on luck in the future. They looked into possible solutions to help detect failures before they became critical, and discovered the FLIR VS290-32 thermal and visual videoscope.

FLIR MUVE C360 Protects First Responders From a Wide Range of Hazards
First responders on a site after an accident or potential gas leak face a multitude of dangers. Is the air safe to breath? Are gasses on-scene creating the threat of an imminent explosion? Sending in an unmanned gas detector helps eliminate the risk to emergency responders, industrial safety officers, and environmental monitoring experts on the scene. The FLIR MUVE™C360 is a multi-gas detector that integrates with an unmanned aerial system (UAS) or other platform to provide real-time continuous monitoring of chemical hazards while on the move. While the primary use-cases for the C360 are oil and gas field monitoring and hazmat response, there are a variety of scenarios where sending in an unmanned system first can help protect personnel and deliver real-time data.
