Utilities are maintaining aging networks under wildfire risk, extreme weather and regulatory pressure, usually with fragmented or outdated data and less field time than the problem deserves. This hour looks at what three organizations actually built to close that gap.Speakers cover high-altitude lidar flown to see risk across an entire network rather than sampled sections of it, an end to end geospatial workflow at a utility managing 70,000 square miles and 2.5 million distribution poles under a $73B investment program, and real-time visualization used to bring multidisciplinary teams to consensus on energy infrastructure design. Owner, service provider and technology perspectives on the same problem, each with its own constraints.
