vegetation

Setup, iterate and optimize the entire vegetation management process

Vegetation Management

Neara lets utilities take digital vegetation management and optimization into their own hands. Utilities can set-up and iterate on their entire vegetation management process, from raw LiDAR import, to encroachment zone compliance, to optimization, to building dashboards and reports for internal and external teams.

Build, iterate on, and experiment with different 3D clearance zones and policies, and compare the resulting costs
Construct pipelines to automatically analyze and compare new and previous LiDAR scans; automatically audit past treatment jobs when new data becomes available
Create dashboards for field teams and management to gain network-wide understanding of encroachments and planned remediation
Prioritize works based on failure consequence and network criticality, on a per-span basis

For utilities that need precision and cost optimization, Neara offers advanced vegetation management features:

Precisely simulate cable movement under different wind and temperature conditions; compare conventional clearance zones to the exact physical movement of network assets
Reduce dependence on frequent LiDAR scans by overlaying up-to-date satellite imagery; anticipate future encroachment by applying per-tree growth prediction
Automatically triage and bundle trimming jobs, and optimize vegetation management cycles
Integrate and leverage historic and forecasted cost data to optimize expenditure

clash

Measure clash risks using precise network modeling and physical properties

Conductor Clash

Conductor clashing occurs when two wires come into direct contact. It can result in sparks and even molten metal dropping from the line – a common cause of wildfires. Measuring the risk of a clash requires precise network modeling and a deep understanding of a cable’s physical properties. Neara has both.

Identify, triage, prioritize, and eliminate risk of conductor clash across the network
Overlay layers of historic and predicted wildfire regions, weather data, and past reported events to help prioritize at-risk locations

mitigation

Centralize asset maintenance monitoring and analysis in one location

Asset Analytics & Risk Mitigation

Neara combines maintenance data, degradation and change analytics, and asset history with structural, stress, and loading analysis at network scale.

Define network models for condition-based assessment
Stress test the network under maximum allowable conditions, and automatically flag areas and assets at high risk of failure
Construct, audit, and optimize inspection and replacement scheduling
Integrate with existing defect / task management systems
Identify problems using Neara’s Analyze Modules, then immediately design solutions using Neara’s Design Modules – all on the same platform

climate

Prepare for and respond to extreme weather and climate events to build grid resiliency

Climate & Weather Resilience

Wildfires, severe winds, floods, and snow storms are just some of the potentially catastrophic events that threaten the integrity of critical infrastructure with increasing frequency. Neara provides tools for utilities to prepare for and respond to extreme weather and climate events, and build grid resiliency.

Simulate extreme environmental conditions network-wide to prepare for weather events
Find points of likely asset failure and prioritize remediation to ensure the most vulnerable, most critical network components are hardened
As an extreme weather event unfolds, use Neara to identify affected assets, prioritize response initiatives, and provide up-to-date information to field and control teams
