Case Study: Pacific Gas & Electric achieves gold-standard vegetation management with Davey Resource Group

Pacific Gas & Electric achieves 100% compliance and gold-standard operations with Davey

Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) faced a significant challenge as its Kern County division was ranked second to last in the company for vegetation management quality control. Issues with scheduling, forecasting, and compliance with contract specifications prompted PG&E to switch its pre-inspection services to Davey Resource Group (DRG).

Davey Resource Group implemented a comprehensive solution focused on regular training, standardized operating procedures, and improved scheduling. This included on-site management and community outreach efforts. As a result, DRG helped the Kern Division achieve 100% compliance scores, consistent work scheduling, and a vastly improved relationship with tree trimming crews. The division became the gold standard within PG&E's system, with Davey's work enabling the utility to effectively manage an excessive number of dead trees from a prolonged drought.
