There is more pressure than ever on companies to comply with essential vegetation clearance mandates from regulatory agencies, such as the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NREC). <\/span><\/p>\n

It is essential, yet challenging, to understand all of the regulations in place in order to create a successful and efficient vegetation management process.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Laser Rangefinders Simplify Ground Truthing<\/span><\/h3>\n

Industry professionals have used a variety of clearance criteria in the past, such as LIDAR scanning and PLS-CADD models. Although these models do deliver accurate results, sometimes it is not enough with the strict NREC requirements in place.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ground truthing solution with LTI laser rangefinder<\/p><\/div>\n

Add one more step to your vegetation management routine and ground truth your clearances to confirm your data. With an\u00a0<\/span>LTI TruPulse\u00ae<\/sup> 360 laser rangefinder<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in hand, vegetation management professionals can now avoid violations and create a process that is reliable, cost-effective and most importantly, safe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ground truthing clearances is a crucial step in vegetation management and with help from an LTI laser, electric utilities will significantly reduce potential encroachments.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For more information on how to efficiently ground truth clearances and hear from experts in the field, read this Executive Summary<\/a> the T&D World Webinar, <\/span>“Line Inspection for Vegetation Management: Ground Truthing Your Clearances.”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Using the\u00a0TruPulse\u00a0360 in conjunction with LIDAR scans or PLS-CADD models helps to streamline the vegetation management process. The single push of a button allows professionals to measure distance, inclination, height, azimuth and more. With LTI\u2019s exclusive\u00a0TruVector\u00a0360\u00b0 Compass Technology built in, the\u00a0<\/span>TruPulse 360<\/span><\/a>\u00a0can even instantly calculate clearance values and provide the best possible azimuth accuracy, no matter what pitch or angle the laser is shot from.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This technology provides a simple way to ground truth clearances and offers electric utilities a resourceful way to avoid violations by visiting specific problem areas located directly on the ground, preventing missed hazards and eliminating huge fines.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
