How This Automation Works
Utility Clearance Request Received → Qualified Crew Automatically Dispatched with Compliance Documentation
Clearance Request Intake and Validation
System receives utility clearance requests via email, API integration, or monitoring alerts, validates location data and utility infrastructure type, checks for existing service records in the area, determines priority level based on proximity to power lines, and extracts specific clearance requirements from utility company standards.
Crew Qualification and Assignment
System identifies available crews with required utility clearance certifications, checks current schedules and proximity to job site, verifies all team members hold valid credentials for the specific utility provider, matches equipment requirements with crew capabilities, and assigns the optimal team based on skills, location, and availability.
Work Order Generation with Compliance Details
System creates detailed work orders including exact clearance zones, minimum distance requirements per ANSI standards, safety protocols specific to voltage levels, access routes and traffic control needs, required equipment and PPE specifications, and utility company contact information for site coordination.
Crew Dispatch and Job Site Navigation
System sends mobile notifications to assigned crew with complete job details, provides GPS navigation to exact work location, includes utility infrastructure maps showing power line locations, delivers safety briefing materials and site-specific hazards, and confirms crew acknowledgment with estimated arrival time.
Real-Time Progress Tracking and Documentation
Crew captures before photos with GPS coordinates and timestamps, logs start time and team member check-in, updates work status as trimming progresses, records any unexpected conditions or additional hazards, measures and documents clearance distances achieved, and captures after photos showing completed work and compliance with standards.
Compliance Reporting and Utility Notification
System compiles all documentation into utility-specific report format, calculates clearance distances and verifies compliance with minimum requirements, generates certificates of completion with crew credentials, submits reports to utility company via their preferred method, archives all records for regulatory audits, and schedules next maintenance cycle based on vegetation growth projections.
How It Works
Managing tree utility clearance requires precise coordination between scheduling, crew deployment, regulatory compliance, and utility company communication. This automation system handles the entire utility clearance process from initial inspection requests through completion documentation. When utility companies submit clearance requests or automated monitoring detects vegetation encroachment, the system automatically schedules qualified crews, generates work orders with specific clearance requirements, tracks compliance with ANSI A300 and utility standards, documents before/after photos, and submits required reports to utility providers. The solution ensures continuous compliance with minimum clearance distances, manages emergency response protocols, coordinates with multiple utility providers, and maintains comprehensive audit trails for regulatory inspections. Real-time updates keep utility companies informed of clearance status, while automated documentation reduces administrative burden and ensures every job meets safety and regulatory standards.
The Trigger
Activation occurs when utility companies submit clearance requests, automated monitoring systems detect vegetation encroachment near power lines, scheduled maintenance intervals arrive, storm damage assessments identify hazards, or emergency clearance calls are received requiring immediate vegetation management response.
The Action
The system immediately assigns certified utility clearance crews based on location and certification requirements, generates detailed work orders with specific clearance zones and safety protocols, sends crew notifications with GPS coordinates and access instructions, creates compliance checklists for ANSI standards, logs all activities for utility company reporting, and schedules follow-up inspections to maintain clearance intervals.
