The effective management of vegetation on transmission and distribution corridors is essential for providing a reliable supply of electricity and for ensuring public and worker safety. Comprehensive and effective vegetation management programs must comply with new and emerging regulations, meet public and landowner expectations, and consider various environmental issues. Managing vegetation can range from pruning or removing individual trees to encouraging the establishment of low-growing compatible plant communities on power line corridors.
A focus on the 5th annual vegetation management conference will be on the various technologies, techniques and equipment that are being developed or are currently available to Vegetation Managers.
Mr. Finn's session will be discussing tree and powerline related fires and the potential impact on utilities, including fires caused by tree contact on power lines. This is a significant issue in California and the potential impact of this issue exists throughout North America. For more information on this conference and to see full agenda click here.
