DAMAGE PREVENTION RISKMODELING

OUR SOLUTION: A UNIQUE DAMAGE PREVENTION RISK MODELING TECHNOLOGY

DID YOU KNOW? That every year, damage to underground infrastructure costs Canadians at least $1 billion? This includes millions in repair costs and lost revenue to utility companies.

When it comes to damage prevention, we have a dedicated team focused on evaluating risk to our underground natural gas lines. Our team uses a predictive model that prioritizes the risk level of incoming locate requests and digging activity, allowing us to assess and mitigate risks to our assets.

We are now providing that same expertise and predictive modeling to other customers across all utilities.

PREDICTIVE RISK MAP OVERLAY SAMPLES
