Key Outcomes
Project Background
An investor-owned utility in the Western United States engaged OMS Field Services, LLC (OMS FS) to pilot a new program to reduce dead and dying tree and hazard tree risk to electric system assets and to reduce fire risk in high fire threat areas.
Scope
OMS FS staff were engaged to conduct a pilot program of new work methods and streamlined procedures for conducting tree risk assessments. OMS FS staff were asked to review existing hazard trees for accuracy of prior risk assessments and to determine if trees should be removed. OMS FS Tree Risk Assessment Qualified (TRAQ) foresters also evaluated efficacy of new work procedures and documentation requirements and identified process improvements that would enhance efficiency and reduce costs, while maintaining accuracy and defensibility of tree risk assessments.
- Verified and validated efficacy of new risk assessment standards and procedures
- Developed process enhancements and efficiencies
- Identified cost reduction opportunities
- Enhanced data reliability and defensibility
- Enhanced wildfire risk reduction and regulatory compliance
