Bird Guard for Large, Long-Legged Birds on Power Infrastructure

The Indolite™ Perch Deterrent 575x1120 is a purpose-built bird guard engineered to stop large, long-legged birds from perching on transmission towers, cross-arms, substations and other electrical infrastructure. Built for birds with leg length above 12 inches — herons, storks, vultures and similar large avian species — the 575x1120 is one of the most effective bird electrocution prevention products available for Indian power networks.

Why Power Utilities Need the 575x1120 Perch Deterrent

Large birds often use transmission towers as elevated resting points. When they spread their wings during take-off or landing, they can bridge energised and grounded components — a leading cause of bird electrocution, flashovers and unplanned power outages. The Indolite 575x1120 makes these locations unsuitable for comfortable perching, guiding birds away safely without harming them.

14 Spear-Shaped Spikes

Long, humane spikes per module with rounded tips that deter without harming birds.

Non-Conductive Build

UV-stabilized HDPE/PP co-polymer, safe for use on live infrastructure.

Weather-Resistant

Rated for -10°C to +70°C — built for monsoon, heat and extreme outdoor exposure.

Fire-Resistant Grades

V1/V2 fire-resistant grades available on request.

Lightweight & Strong

Approx. 1850 gms ± 100 gms per module.

Applications

Ideal for high-voltage transmission towers, power transmission lines, tower cross-arms, electrical substations, transformer structures and any bird-sensitive power infrastructure — wherever large birds create a perching hazard, on lines up to 1000kV class.

Humane, Non-Lethal Bird Protection

The 575x1120 uses no electricity, poison or trapping mechanism. Its 14 spear-shaped spikes are engineered to deter, not hurt — birds remain unharmed even if they accidentally come into contact with the spikes. This makes it a responsible choice for utilities balancing grid reliability with wildlife protection.
