Utilities

Ian Berdie, Vice President of Innovation and Development discusses disaster response. With climate change affecting the frequency, types, and severity of disasters, how are utilities and the analytics that power their operations adjusting their responses to keep outages and outage times to a minimum? Listen and find out!

Changing Responses to Changing Disasters

Combining lidar with hyperspectral analysis is combating the effects of the emerald ash borer, which is attacking large quantities of ash trees. In the presence of electric utility lines, compromised ash trees are a greater risk to the integrity of utility system.

NV5 Geospatial is at the forefront of using geospatial analytics to help utilities deliver safe and reliable electric service. We have more than two decades of experience providing industry-leading geospatial services. We serve dozens of utilities providers across North America.

Vegetation Management

Save time and money by identifying clearance hazards without a site visit and make more informed decisions about when and where to deploy clearing crews. Our best in class utility vegetation management solutions include clearance detection analytics, minimum ground to conductor clearances, hazard tree detection, ROW tree inventory, change detection, and our INSITE web platform.

Vegetation Management - Rapid Reporting

Remote sensing improves accuracy, reduces turnaround time on new data acquisition, and provides opportunities for business growth. NV5 Geospatial is the best in the business with remote sensing data and data analysis. 

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.

Distribution Asset & Vegetation Management

NV5 Geospatial is leading the way with asset management solutions for joint use, NESC clearances, and pole load analysis as well as vegetation management specifically designed for distribution networks.

Substation Mapping

3D modeling provides substation engineers with high accuracy as-builts to support substation expansions, security planning and connectivity to renewable energy and electric transmission infrastructure.

Transmission 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, automated access road delineation and inventories, and ROW encroachment analysis.

Transmission Line Siting

Plan for growth by identifying suitable routes for new transmission lines. Our experts work with transmission developers and consultants to help implement the widely used EPRI Siting Methodology, which NV5 Geospatial co-developed. Our siting experience includes hundreds of projects in 8 states and 3 countries as our team developed Corridor Analyst Software and sold to Trimble who distributes worldwide.

LANDMIND

As a company you invest great amounts of time, money, and energy into maintaining the health and safety of your assets. NV5 Geospatial recognizes the need to extend that same diligence to managing the safety, health, and wellbeing of your most precious asset, your people. NV5 Geospatial’s LANDMIND ensures your field crews have the best geohazard & vehicle obstruction intelligence available to keep them and your assets safe.

Geologic Hazard Mapping

Identify and mitigate potential geologic hazard threats to electric utility infrastructure utilizing our proprietary terrain failure and fault detection and proximity analysis solutions. Utilizing an automated approach, NV5 Geospatial’s methodology offers an accurate and efficient way to detect areas of failed terrain using high-resolution lidar.

Hydroelectric Dams

Use engineering-grade 3D models to view as-built conditions, comply with FERC requirements, and help ensure the safe operation of hydroelectric dams. Our unique solutions for hydroelectric facilities include hydrologic modeling, dam subsidence monitoring and dam inundation simulation.
