Advanced Technology Solutions for Ecologically Sound Vegetation Management
Vegetation management is typically the largest expense in utility operations and maintenance budgets. This high cost is driven by the complexity of managing vegetation around electrical infrastructure while balancing safety, reliability, and environmental concerns. INTREN takes a strategic approach to vegetation management that aims to reduce excessive costs while ensuring reliable and safe electrical infrastructure.
To further enhance its vegetation management services, INTREN acquired Shade Tree Service Company in December 2021. This strategic move has strengthened INTREN’s position in the utility and infrastructure services sector, allowing the company to better serve clients throughout the United States. Our solutions focus on:
- Cost optimization: We employ data-driven techniques and risk-based assessments, to prioritize vegetation management activities to areas of highest need, to help reduce overall expenses.
- Safety and reliability: Our proactive vegetation management helps prevent outages and minimizes fire risks associated with vegetation contact with power lines.
- Environmental responsibility: INTREN’s approach considers the ecological impact of vegetation management activities, balancing the need for clear rights-of-way with environmental stewardship.
- Integrated solutions: Our vegetation management services are part of a comprehensive suite of utility infrastructure capabilities. This integration allows for more efficient and coordinated maintenance and development projects.
By offering innovative services across overhead distribution, transmission, substation work, and underground electric services alongside vegetation management, we can provide our clients with holistic solutions for infrastructure maintenance and development.
