NV5, a TiC Solutions company and provider of geospatial software and services, will feature its end-to-end vegetation management solutions for electric utilities at the Trees & Utilities Conference from Sept. 22 to 24 at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon. 

NV5 will also join with ComEd for a session about how leveraging data and remote sensing helps align vegetation management efforts with community needs.

In Booth #1101 during exhibit hours, attendees can fuel up with an espresso while exploring how NV5 provides geospatial analysis that aids in tree risk assessment, fire mitigation, ground clearance assessment, integrated vegetation management (IVM), asset conflation and North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) compliance.  

Vegetation Management Data Analytics Augmented Reality Experience
Experience vegetation analytics in action. NV5’s handheld augmented reality application will enable attendees to view fall‑in, grow‑in and overhang risks, overlaying vegetation management metrics directly onto the environment surrounding the convention center.

An NV5 team member will be stationed outside the convention center each morning so attendees can try the demo as they arrive and see how this technology can benefit tree crews.

On Wednesday, September 23, at 4 p.m., NV5 will lead a dedicated group from its booth to an outdoor walkthrough for a full, guided demonstration.

They can also attend the session, "Where Data Meets Community: A New Approach to Vegetation Management," on  Wednesday, September 23, from 2:15 p.m. to 2:55 p.m. in Room B113-114.

Here is a description of the session:
Utilities are increasingly leveraging data and remote sensing to better align vegetation management with community needs. During this session, NV5's Andrew Brenner, vice president for Solution Engineering, and Jacob Hall, account manager, will be joined by Nick Day, principal program manager for ComEd, who will share how Equity Investment Eligible Communities (EIEC) are identified and monitored using key metrics.

The session also highlights how strategies like LiDAR data and enhanced trimming can improve planning and resiliency, and discusses partnership efforts with the Arbor Day Foundation for a replacement tree program. Attendees will learn how socioeconomic considerations, remote sensing  and data-informed approaches can help shape vegetation management strategies within their service territories.
