Key Outcomes
Project Background
An investor-owned utility in the Western United States utilized contractor feedback to integrate and streamline vegetation management inspections to combine three stand-alone vegetation programs. The utility had over 1,600 vegetation pre-inspectors surveying for routine, dead and dying tree, and enhanced vegetation management programs simultaneously. Opportunity was identified to consolidate these surveys into a single, comprehensive pre-inspection survey.
Scope
OMS Field Services, LLC (OMS FS) staff were engaged to provide turn-key vegetation management inspections for the combined routine, dead and dying tree, and enhanced vegetation management programs. Inspectors were responsible for utility customer outreach, inspection, issue resolution, scheduling, GIS services, prescription of trim and removals, compliance assessments, quality assurance, tree crew support, and close-out activities for all of the utility electric transmission and distribution vegetation management operations.
- Operational efficiencies, cost savings and avoidance exceeding 25%
- Increased contractor accountability and transferal of risk from owner to contractor
- Expedited timelines for inspection and work verification of tree trims and removals
- Enhanced wildfire risk reduction and regulatory compliance
