Utility Asset Management: Sub-Transmission Static, Structure Condition, and Row Assessment

Passero Associates is supplying utility providers an innovative solution for utility asset inspection and inventory, through our custom developed software and workflows, using our ReadyVIS services.

A small distribution line near Lancaster, NY was used as a testing ground for this new system. Integrating GIS data, drone inspection media, condition analysis, and custom software, a comprehensive solution was developed to meet the needs of the modern utility provider.
