Service 03 · Vegetation Management

IVM that respects the scorecard.

Integrated vegetation management — mechanical, manual, and selective herbicide combined into a per-corridor program designed for your reliability numbers, your easement language, and your stewardship policy.

Capabilities / 01

Four tools.
One program.

No two corridors look the same. The IVM design matches the tool to the segment — same crew, all four methods.

TOOL-01

Mechanical Mowing

Tracked mulchers, boom mowers, and drum cutters for high-density corridor segments. Production-line work for the wire zone and shoulder.

TOOL-02

Manual / Cut & Treat

Chainsaw and stump-treat crews for sensitive areas, residential ROW, and species-specific removal. Climbers for above-conductor work.

TOOL-03

Selective Herbicide

Foliar, basal-bark, hack-and-squirt, and cut-stump applications. EPA-certified applicators, target-species lists per circuit, application logs to your format.

TOOL-04

Compatible Species Mgmt

Wire-zone / border-zone design that promotes low-growing native species and suppresses tall-growing incompatibles. Pollinator habitat overlays available.

Built into your program / 02

One IVM design per circuit.

The same easement runs through suburban backyard, hardwood ridge, and wetland crossing. Designing a single mechanical-only cycle for all of it is how programs end up over budget and under target. Each segment gets the right tool — and the documentation to back it up.

  • ANSI A300 Part 7 IVM design as the starting point on every program
  • Target species lists and application rates by segment, not by circuit
  • SAIFI / SAIDI improvement modeled into the cycle-length recommendation
  • Stakeholder communication plan — landowners, regulators, host community
  • Tax-credit / habitat-credit overlay where the program qualifies
