Satellite AI Vegetation Management Built for Co-Op and Municipal Utility Budgets
LineGuard is specifically designed for the budget and resource constraints of electric cooperatives, municipal utilities, and small IOUs. Get enterprise-grade satellite AI vegetation monitoring without enterprise pricing or complexity.
Perfect for
- Electric distribution cooperatives managing 500–5,000 miles
- Municipal electric utilities with limited vegetation management staff
- Small investor-owned utilities managing transmission and distribution vegetation
- Rural electric cooperatives serving member-owners
- Public power districts with tight operational budgets
Vegetation Management Challenges for Small Utilities
AI-powered vegetation risk screening makes network-wide maintenance planning affordable. Designed for small utilities, electric cooperatives, and municipal power providers—including those with no FAC-003 obligation.
Manual vegetation inspections take weeks
Field walkdowns take 2–4 weeks to complete and weeks more to compile reports. LineGuard delivers a complete network first pass in minutes.
LiDAR runs $2,000–$5,000 per mile
At published LiDAR rates, a 1,000-mile network costs $2M–$5M per survey and months from flight to final deliverable. LineGuard is $299/month with results in minutes, run as often as you need.
Storm damage and outages are hard to get ahead of
Severe weather and vegetation-related outages create service interruptions and member complaints. On-demand satellite analysis shows which corridors carry the heaviest vegetation, and can be re-run right after a storm.
How AI Vegetation Risk Analysis Works
Upload GIS data once and receive date-stamped vegetation screening reports in minutes.
Upload your GIS data once
Upload your existing network data as Shapefile (.zip), GeoJSON, KML or KMZ.
Get AI-Powered Reports in Minutes
Analysis covers your whole network in minutes, not weeks. Re-run it whenever you need — after storms, after clearing work, or before an audit. No per-report fees. Networks up to 500 miles on Professional.
Document systematic screening
Create date-stamped records for maintenance planning and regulatory or board review; for subject transmission, support the annual R6 Vegetation Inspection.
Segments aren't places. Work zones are.
A network scan returns ranked segments — but segments are not locations. Two segments 25 metres apart are the same span, the same tree, and two rows in a spreadsheet. LineGuard groups high-risk segments within 500 m of each other into work zones, each with centre coordinates and corridor span. On a recent 1,005-segment transmission network, 101 high-risk segments grouped into 40 distinct locations — the difference between a ranked list and a work plan a crew can route to.

LineGuard doesn't replace your field crews. Use it as a first pass across the whole network — for hotspot screening, post-storm checks, work scoping, and board reporting — then send crews to the work zones that need eyes on them.
AI-Powered Vegetation Risk Analysis Features
Satellite screening, density-based risk ranking, and date-stamped records for planning and review.
On-Demand Satellite Analysis
Upload your network and run a full-network analysis on demand. Sentinel-2 imagery, 10 m resolution, least-cloudy scene in the search window.
AI Risk Scoring
Segments are scored by vegetation density relative to your own network, so the ranking reflects your conditions rather than a fixed threshold.
Date-Stamped Reports
PDF reports with a colour-coded risk map, ranked segments, and work zones with GPS coordinates for maintenance planning and regulatory or board review.
Why Utilities Choose LineGuard
Network-Wide View in Minutes
Get a complete first pass of your entire network faster than scheduling a single field crew. Identify hotspots and work priorities immediately, then deploy crews to the zones that need validation.
Crew Planning & Work Zones
High-risk segments are grouped into work zones with centre coordinates and corridor span, so contractor scoping and crew routing start from locations rather than a list of rows.
Flat monthly pricing
$299/month regardless of how many reports you run. No per-mile or per-analysis fees.
Why Electric Cooperatives Choose LineGuard
Budget-friendly, predictable pricing
Flat $299/month with no per-mile or per-analysis charges, so there are no surprise bills to explain to member-owners. Networks up to 500 miles on Professional.
Documentation for planning and review
Generate date-stamped screening records in-house, and re-run analysis after storms, before board meetings, or ahead of a review at no extra cost.
Built for small teams
Self-service platform that needs no dedicated IT or GIS staff to operate.
