From Data Acquisition & Advanced Analytics to Action
Our geospatial solutions identity threats to your system and quantify the level of risk, so you can take the most effective actions to mitigate any potential issues across your utility network.
VEGETATION MANAGEMENT
Rapid Reporting
Time matters when it comes to vegetation risk remediation; our Rapid Reporting analysis delivers results in mere weeks after data collection, identifying Fall-in and Grow-in risks on as-flown conditions. Furthermore, we provide quick-turnaround assessments on modeled conditions.
Trim Work Optimization
NV5’s Trim Optimization builds a tailor-made risk profile of vegetation on your system by combining lidar proximity analysis with other factors such as tree health, ground slope, tree lean, overhang, and volumetrics.
The results provide defensible metrics to prioritize work while reducing costs and improving system safety and reliability.
Fire Mitigation
Realize an effective wildfire mitigation plan by incorporating geospatial analysis to determine fire risk factors: tree health, overstrike potential, fuel load quantification (IVM), defensible space encroachments, and work prioritization.
ASSET MANAGEMENT
Distribution Pole Management
Joint Use: We utilize geospatial data to generate a comprehensive inventory of utility pole assets and determine pole capacity.
NESC: We assess your network for risk and identify specific measurements on poles to maintain regulatory compliance.
Pole Loading: We ensure safe load conditions through the integration of remote sensing data with pole loading software.
T-Line Modeling
Better manage operations and quickly respond to reliability issues with an accurate, multi-dimensional view of all utility assets, roads, buildings, and vegetation in transmission corridors. Our solutions include engineering-grade as-builts, sag and sway analysis, access road delineation, asset inventories, and ROW encroachment analysis.
Substation Mapping & Security
We offer a variety of real-time monitoring and change detection services. 3D modeling and monitoring provides substation engineers with high-accuracy as-builts to support maintenance, expansions, security planning and connectivity to renewable energy and electric transmission infrastructure. Additionally, we deploy tailored security systems to identify and alert on physical threats.

Vegetation Management
Prune Optimization
Identifying risk is essential to set priorities for vegetation management. A proactive approach assesses future as well as present risk. This approach also improves outcomes while maximizing operational efficiency.
Prune Optimization is predictive modeling analysis for vegetation management. This method uses existing lidar and historical data to identify the relative level of asset risk from trees by quantifying the potential for causing asset damage.
