Case Study: Trinity Public Utilities District improves vegetation risk management with AiDASH IVMS

Trinity Public Utilities District reduces wildfire backlog after removing over 30,000 trees with AiDASH

Trinity Public Utilities District (PUD), a utility in a wildfire-prone region of Northern California, faced significant challenges in managing vegetation and mitigating wildfire risk. Their traditional three-year management cycle and paper-based planning systems were ineffective against prolonged drought and a growing backlog of high-risk "snag" trees. Trinity PUD turned to AiDash and its Intelligent Vegetation Management System (IVMS) to create a more modern, trackable, and digital approach to its operations.

AiDash implemented its IVMS platform, which provided mobile-enabled work tracking, system segmentation for field planning, and integrated hazard tree identification. This solution allowed Trinity PUD to transition to a digitally trackable program, systematically reduce its work backlog, and prioritize risk-based removals. The implementation by AiDash also helped the utility codify institutional knowledge into a digital system, preparing it for future staffing transitions and laying the groundwork for improved operational foresight.
