Case Study: Pacific Gas & Electric achieves safer utility right-of-way tree management with Davey Resource Group

Pacific Gas & Electric completes TRAQ reports in 3 weeks with Davey

Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) faced a challenge when 128 trees near a gas transmission right-of-way at Wilder Ranch State Park required urgent inspection to ensure public safety. The utility needed specialized Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) reports, but certified specialists are often in short supply. PG&E enlisted Davey Resource Group, Inc. (DRG), a Davey company, for its utility vegetation management services to address this quickly.

Davey assigned two certified environmental specialists to perform detailed visual tree inspections and site evaluations. The team rapidly completed and submitted all TRAQ reports within just three weeks, providing a tailored tree risk mitigation strategy. This efficient execution by Davey exceeded the client's timeline needs and preserved safety for the park's many visitors.
