Services
Vegetation Management
Our vegetation management services ensure safe, reliable power delivery by controlling tree growth near utility lines. We combine traditional pruning techniques with advanced herbicide application and aerial side-trimming technology to maintain clear rights-of-way. Our NERC-compliant programs help utilities meet regulatory standards while protecting ecosystems through sustainable practices.
Infrastructure Solutions
We provide comprehensive infrastructure services including power line design, construction, and maintenance for electric and gas utilities. Our teams handle traffic signalization, roadway lighting, and intelligent transportation systems while maintaining strict safety protocols. With specialized equipment for both overhead and underground systems, we support grid modernization and emergency infrastructure repairs.
Storm Response
Our 24/7 storm response teams deploy rapidly to restore power after catastrophic weather events. With pre-positioned equipment and trained personnel across North America, we handle debris removal, line clearance, and infrastructure repairs. Our AVMS tracking system optimizes crew deployment while safety supervisors ensure compliance during high-pressure restoration efforts.
Herbicide Application
Our integrated vegetation management (IVM) programs use targeted herbicide application to control unwanted plant growth on rights-of-way. We develop customized treatment plans that balance environmental protection with operational efficiency, supported by ongoing research partnerships to refine application techniques and minimize ecological impact.
Aerial Side Trimming
We employ specialized helicopter equipment for efficient vegetation management in difficult terrain and environmentally sensitive areas. This method safely trims transmission line corridors and rural distribution circuits, reducing ground crew exposure to hazards while maintaining precise clearance standards for power line safety.
