Vegetation Management
Inspect every tree in your network with a few clicks
When fair weather field inspections only show you vegetation on its best behavior, it’s no wonder vegetation clearances feel like a moving target. Simulate high winds, rainfall, extreme temperatures, and more to reveal which vegetation-caused interruptions, wire-downs, and wildfire risks you really need to worry about. Risk-based inspections empower your team to focus on proactive triage and remediation, not whack-a-mole with urgent work orders.
- Inspect every tree in your network with a few clicks instead of only ~100 trees at a time.
- Upgrade from manually guesstimated clearances to work orders with unparalleled accuracy. Complete vegetation work 50% faster and get precise clearance reports into field teams’ hands in days, not months.
- Justify every decision, from navigating non-ROW access to making your vegetation budget dead simple to explain, backed by precise data.
Risk-based inspections put you in control of what matters
Assign clearance reports in days, not months
Identify and prioritize encroachment, fall-in, and grow-in risks more effectively and complete vegetation work 50% faster. Digitally monitoring vegetation risk scales your expertise across your entire network instead of just the trees you can cover in a given site visit. Trading guesstimation for precision builds confidence that you’re prioritizing the right risks. Make sure every P1 is actually a P1 and not a false alarm and ensure your field time is well spent.
Reduce outages and improve SAIDI/SAIFI
Reduce outages via a risk-based approach to vegetation inspections and maintenance work. Simulate stormy conditions like high winds, flash floods, and ice storms that can unravel your normal-course vegetation clearance logic — without setting foot in the field. This way, when these conditions unfold in real time, you can follow along in the model and see exactly how and where you need to respond. Analyze known trouble spots across your network especially prone to outages, and surface other “lookalike” areas that are similarly outage-prone based on equipment, vegetation, and other environmental characteristics.
Combat wildfire risk
Vegetation clearance guesstimation is no match for today’s environment. Surfacing wildfire risks in the digital model is like having your most seasoned inspector evaluate ignition risk in every square inch of your network — except now they can see how vegetation responds to dangerously high winds, high heat, and errant equipment up close — from the safety of their desk. Never again second guess or be second-guessed about missing a P1 or misdirecting your team’s time to less urgent risks.
Codify what "urgent" and "done" mean
Even your best inspectors might have different ideas about what a tier one risk looks like. Define consistent urgency criteria once and for all and enforce it network-wide with your digital model. Don’t settle for unnecessary repeat field visits to check the status of work orders — your digital network model is a shared source of truth that reflects the current status of all field work in flight. When your vegetation clearance reports become durable, digital artifacts instead of papered work orders with the life span of any given trim job, you can infuse all field operations with more accuracy, reducing barriers to action and driving down costs.
Bulletproof your vegetation budget
When you know exactly what needs to be done and when, budgeting is easy. Bulletproof your vegetation management budget with total visibility across impending priorities, as well as the underlying risks and costs required to address them. Understand the financial trade-offs of mitigating risks and build in flexibility to effectively negotiate required contracted work. Justify your budget with ease with data-driven line items and clearly highlight major efficiencies you can unlock.
