Proactive Risk Management. Smarter, Safer Systems.
Staying ahead of vegetation threats starts before crews hit the ground
Field Expertise Meets Forward Planning
Utility forestry and pre-inspection services that reduce risk before it appears
Rancho’s Utility Forestry & Pre-Inspection program plays a critical role in preventing outages, reducing wildfire exposure, and exceeding state and federal regulatory requirements. Our trained and credentialed professionals patrol powerlines and critical infrastructure ahead of vegetation crews to identify hazards, record data, and build defensible vegetation work plans.
