WireWatch™

Vegetation encroachment on power lines can cause power outages, electric shock, and wildfires. It’s vital the right-of-way beneath transmission lines remains clear of tall vegetation such as shrubs and trees. The challenge? It can be costly and time-consuming for utility companies to send crews to maintain clear paths for power lines that stretch for hundreds of miles.

We make that maintenance faster and more efficient with WireWatch™. It’s a digital service that uses near-infrared satellite imagery to calculate vegetation biomass and then we provide that information to utility managers. You can set the limit for vegetation encroachment, and we target our image analysis to your threshold.

WireWatch™ helps target which areas along transmission routes are facing vegetation encroachment. With WireWatch™’s information, you can quickly and efficiently deploy crews to focus on specific areas, saving time and money.
