Case Study: North Attleboro Electric Department maintains COVID-safe line assessment with Davey Resource Group

North Attleboro Electric Department maps out 10 verification points with Davey

North Attleboro Electric Department (NAED) faced a challenge when its planned in-person electrical line assessment was disrupted by the need to maintain strict COVID-19 compliance. The utility needed to limit in-person exposure while still obtaining accurate data to plan its vegetation management. Davey Resource Group, Inc. (DRG) was engaged to provide a solution.

Davey implemented a remote sensing solution using its proprietary software, ResourceKeeper, to log accessibility, tree density, and mileage data. Field verification was minimized to just ten random points to ensure accuracy while limiting exposure. As a result, DRG provided NAED with a clear picture of the optimal trimming approach, allowing the utility to efficiently map out trimming zones for its selected cycle length while maintaining safety during the pandemic.
