Managing Clearances for Utility Safety and Efficiency with UAV Data

Vegetation & Encroachment Analysis

Infrasight's vegetation and encroachment analysis services help maintain clear and safe corridors around critical infrastructure, with a strong focus on vegetation growth that poses risks to power lines and other utility assets. We utilize precise mapping technologies, often involving UAV data and LiDAR, to identify, quantify, and monitor vegetation. This proactive approach is essential for preventing outages and ensuring the reliability of the power grid.

Applications

  • Identifying and prioritizing areas for vegetation trimming to prevent outages and maintain safe clearances. Our analysis provides the data needed to develop targeted vegetation management plans. We help utilities optimize their trimming efforts

  • Providing custom reports on danger trees near existing lines, including analysis against NESC standards for blowout and temperature changes. We identify trees that pose a risk to power lines and assess the potential impact of environmental factors. Our reports support proactive risk mitigation

  • Detecting unauthorized encroachments and vegetation growth that could impact pipeline integrity. Our mapping services help maintain the security and safety of pipeline corridors. We provide detailed data for right-of-way management

  • Analyzing vegetation along roadways to ensure clear sightlines and mitigate fire risks. Maintaining clear roadsides is important for driver safety and preventing the spread of wildfires. Our analysis supports effective roadside vegetation control

Benefits

  • Reducing the risk of fires, outages, and accidents caused by overgrown vegetation. Proactive vegetation management is crucial for maintaining safe operating conditions around infrastructure. We help minimize the hazards associated with uncontrolled vegetation growth

  • Prioritizing maintenance efforts to areas with the greatest need, saving time and resources. Our analysis identifies high-risk areas, allowing for efficient allocation of maintenance crews and equipment. This leads to more cost-effective maintenance operations

  • Ensuring adherence to safety and environmental regulations. Our services help clients meet regulatory requirements related to vegetation management and infrastructure clearance. We support compliance with industry standards

  • Anticipating future growth and planning vegetation management strategies effectively. Our data provides insights into vegetation trends, allowing for long-term planning and prevention. We help you stay ahead of vegetation challenges
