How Overstory can help you
Maximize your budget
We tailor a custom plan to your goals (like SAIDI or fire risk reduction) and your program (hot spot, cycle trimming, QA) to make the most of any budget.
Anticipate potential risk
Network-wide analysis finds the worst hazard trees and hot spots based on what matters most to you—willows over the line, dead ash trees, burning limbs, and more.
Optimize your work plans
Our proven risk framework yields massive ROI because it helps you prioritize trimming the circuits with the highest impact on SAIDI and fire risk with low spend.
Estimate future trimming
Get more competitive bids across your network and identify fair quotes when you know what trimming a circuit needs—in both miles and volume of work.
Keep your current systems
Change is tough, but progress shouldn’t be. Our outputs work with your existing processes so you don’t have to learn a new system to start directing crews to the right spots.
Audit completed work
Use our risk framework before and after trimming to confirm work is done right the first time. Send crews back with confidence if there’s more left to do.
Sho-Me Power Case Story
“Every single hot spot that Overstory recommended we trim has needed work.”
— Sho-Me Power Electric Cooperative
We partnered with Sho-Me Power Electric Cooperative to help them centralize their vegetation management process, prioritize high-impact work across their network, and manage a special project budget as efficiently as possible. The results speak for themselves:
64% efficiency improvement in square feet of vegetation trimmed
Vegetation is the single greatest contributor to power outages and wildfires caused by our electric grid.
Overstory gives you the vegetation intelligence you need to strategically reduce risk and improve reliability across your entire service territory.
Scalable
Quickly and easily understand the vegetation (and the risks it poses) across your network. Overstory can cost-effectively scan your entire territory to scale your own local expertise and spot the issues that matter.
Accurate
Accurate insights ensure field visits are focused on the most pressing concerns. Our algorithms have been developed in partnership with arborists and forestry professionals on more than 700,000 miles of T&D right-of-way around the world.
Actionable
Overstory delivers tree-level data on vegetation species, health, height, and proximity to line, enabling risk-based planning for vegetation management. We pinpoint grow-in and fall-in risks and perform pruning verification.
