Wildfire Mitigation
Our Vision
Our vision is to shift the industry from reactive, compliance-driven routines to a proactive, intelligence-led operating model where wildfire mitigation is predictable, data-backed, and fully integrated into daily decision-making.
We believe the path forward requires more than annual inspections and regulatory filings—it demands a new ecosystem of remote sensing, engineering rigor, inspection methodologies and transparent risk analytics. Utilities need a clear, defensible understanding of where their system is most vulnerable and the confidence to prioritize mitigation efforts based on real risk, not assumptions or outdated cycles.
RTS aims to empower utilities with the tools, technology, and methodologies to reduce ignition risk while strengthening system reliability. Our goal is to deliver actionable intelligence that stands up to scrutiny from regulators, insurers, and the public; to build programs that evolve with climate, load, and environmental pressures; and to enable utilities to operate safer, smarter, and more efficiently.
Our Approach
We start with a full audit of the utility’s current wildfire strategy, inspection practices, and data maturity. RTS then builds a risk model that blends vegetation encroachment, terrain factors, weather exposure, and asset condition—creating a transparent, defensible prioritization framework.
Remote sensing is a core differentiator. RTS designs and deploys the right mix of UAS, fixed-wing LiDAR, imagery, infrared, and corona sensors to capture high-value intelligence across the system. That data is processed into actionable insights: defect detection, clearance modeling, fuel-load mapping, and vegetation-risk analytics.
Using these insights, RTS develops targeted mitigation plans, including risk-based vegetation work, asset hardening, operational strategies, and capital planning. RTS supports execution through training, field integration, QA/QC workflows, and ongoing monitoring so the program becomes part of everyday operations—not a once-a-year exercise.
The result is a continuous, measurable wildfire-risk-reduction program that stands up to regulatory scrutiny and improves system reliability year over year.
