Key benefits

This solution lets you detect vegetation encroachment near infrastructure and prioritise action.

Prevent outages

Detect vegetation encroachment early before it triggers service disruptions, safety incidents, or costly emergency interventions across your network.

Reduce Costs

Proactive vegetation management reduces operational risk and costs significantly less than reactive emergency response. Minimising downtime, avoiding unplanned repairs, and protecting both infrastructure and public safety.

Optimise maintenance

Direct field crews to the highest-risk segments first — optimising resources, reducing unnecessary inspections, and ensuring critical areas are addressed before disruption occurs.

The challenge

Uncontrolled vegetation growth near power lines, railways, and roads increases the risk of outages, fires, service disruptions, and safety incidents. As networks expand and climate variability accelerates growth cycles, the scale and unpredictability of vegetation risk continues to rise.

Traditional inspection methods — from manual patrols, scheduled trimming cycles, to reactive interventions — are costly, time-intensive, and often based on fixed calendars rather than real conditions.

Without consistent visibility across large, distributed networks, operators struggle to prioritise resources effectively and intervene before small issues escalate into operational emergencies.

The solution

Our solution for Vegetation Interference monitors vegetation growth near critical infrastructure using multi-spectral satellite imagery and machine-learning analysis. By tracking vegetation health, density, growth rates, and proximity to assets, it detects encroachment early and predicts where risk is increasing.

Operations teams receive ranked worklists, hotspot risk maps, and automated alerts when thresholds are breached — helping them prioritise intervention before outages or fires occur. Delivered through SPAI dashboards, GIS exports, API integrations, and audit-ready evidence packs, the Pulse integrates seamlessly into maintenance workflows and field operations.

Case study: from interference to control

Vegetation growth is a silent risk to critical infrastructure — increasing the likelihood of outages, fire events, and costly service disruptions.

Our Vegetation Interference Pulse continuously monitors asset corridors and surrounding biomass. With the option to receive alerts, operators from utilities, telecom and transport sector can find out on near real time when vegetation risk crosses critical thresholds.

Instead of reacting to damage, teams can intervene earlier — preventing incidents, reducing emergency repair costs, and strengthening long-term operational resilience.
