We work with utility companies to provide the following services:
GIS Inventory and Mapping
We offer up-to-date data, which is critical to maximizing the benefits of your Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Working in unison with Star Energy, we track what is happening on your system. Our GIS technicians monitor where work is being performed and when the work cycle and area will likely need to be addressed again. With your input, we customize any data you would like to track and monitor.
Our GIS inventory and verification services allow a utility, to eliminate training costs, and reduce administrative expenses while improving tracking accuracy. With GIS, your utility can even gain time and shift resources to other key projects.

Additionally, we provide regulatory compliance reporting and documentation, comprehensive management programs, and technology solutions.

Utility Line Clearance
We work with electric companies to complete utility line clearance jobs. Our approach includes using employees that live and work in the same areas, which creates a sense of ownership and pride in the product we deliver. It also keeps communication levels at their highest and allows utility customers to operate more cost effectively.
