Overwatch Grid Systems

Catch the fault before it takes the line down.

Most of the grid is inspected every few years. Vegetation contact, structure failure and intrusion happen any day. Overwatch puts a continuous, zero-trust watch on the towers and the spans between them.

High-voltage transmission line crossing open landscape

Millions of miles of line, watched between inspection cycles.

Millions of miles, inspected every few years.

A multi-year inspection cycle misses brush growing toward a conductor, a leaning structure, or an intruder at a remote tower. It also misses the first minutes that decide whether a spark becomes a wildfire.

24/7

structural and environmental watch

Eyes on every tower and every span.

Each node, mounted on the structure or beside the corridor, runs optical, thermal, LiDAR and environmental sensing with AI on board. Solar power and multi-link radios reach the remote spans where the grid is most exposed.

The same device covers structural condition, public safety and ESG reporting.

Vegetation encroachment

Camera and LiDAR track growth toward the conductors before contact. Vegetation is the leading cause of outages and ignitions.

Structure & conductor health

Tower tilt, conductor sag and structural fatigue, tracked against a baseline to catch failure early.

Wildfire ignition detection

Thermal and smoke detection flags an ignition while one crew can still put it out.

Intrusion & asset security

Flags intrusion, theft and tampering at towers and substations. Raw video stays on site.

Into the control room, not another silo.

Alerts land in SCADA, GIS and outage management, tied to the structure and the span.

SCADA & GIS integration

Every event carries the structure ID and the circuit.

Wildfire & dispatch routing

Ignition alerts go straight to CAD and dispatch with live imagery attached.

Field apps & AR

Crews see the live picture at the structure, with offline sync for remote spans.

Compliance & PSPS support

Records for vegetation and wildfire-mitigation programs, and data for public-safety power shutoff decisions.

Put continuous eyes on the line.

If your inspections run every few years and the risk doesn't wait, let's scope a deployment on your highest-priority corridors.
