Why Utility Vegetation Management Programs Fall Behind
The Problem
LiDAR data sits disconnected from operations
LiDAR surveys produce massive datasets, but without a way to tie them to specific assets and work orders, the findings rarely reach the field quickly.
Fixed trim cycles miss fast-growing hazards
Calendar-based schedules treat every corridor the same. High-risk spans can encroach well before the next scheduled trim.
Prioritization is guesswork
Without consistent severity data across your system, vegetation budgets get spread evenly instead of directed at the corridors most likely to cause an outage or ignition.
Contractor work is hard to verify
Confirming that trimming was completed to spec often requires another site visit. Missing documentation creates gaps during wildfire mitigation plan reviews.
Vegetation Management Software Built Around Four Critical Capabilities
Built with direct input from utility operators, designed to turn vegetation data into prioritized field action.
Vegetation Risk Prioritization by Severity
Rank vegetation risks by severity so your team and contractors work the highest-risk corridors first. Direct trimming budgets based on actual conditions rather than fixed calendar cycles.
- Severity ranking for every vegetation finding
- Prioritize high fire-risk and outage-prone circuits
- Condition-based data to support trim cycle planning
- Customizable inspection forms and scoring
LiDAR Data Upload and Processing for Utility Corridors
Upload LiDAR data directly into Utileyes and bring it into the same platform your team already uses for drone inspections. Vegetation data, asset locations, and inspection imagery live together instead of across separate tools and vendor deliverables.
- Upload LiDAR datasets directly into the platform
- LiDAR and drone imagery in a single workflow
- Vegetation findings tied to asset and GPS location
- No separate system required to review results

Vegetation Encroachment Detection Along Rights-of-Way
Identify where vegetation is encroaching on conductors and structures across your system. Pair LiDAR findings with RGB and thermal imagery to confirm conditions and document what your crews will find on site.
- Encroachment identified across circuits and corridors
- Imagery confirmation alongside LiDAR findings
- Repeatable surveys for trend monitoring over time
- Photo evidence attached to every finding

Vegetation Work Order Management and Wildfire Mitigation Documentation
Move vegetation findings into work orders with GPS coordinates and photo documentation attached. Verify contractor work with follow-up surveys and keep a time-stamped record for wildfire mitigation plan reporting.
- Export to GIS, EAM, and work order management systems
- GPS coordinates for precise contractor dispatch
- Before-and-after documentation to verify completed work
- Records that support wildfire mitigation plan reviews
