Ice accumulation and frost on power lines during the winter season can pose significant issues for utilities and their maintenance crews. When combined with high winds, the threat can become serious. Crews working near these lines risk being struck by falling ice or nearby vegetation. High winds may cause ice laden lines to gallop, and if the wind is extreme, the galloping lines may collide causing faults, downed lines, possible equipment damage or power outages.

Most utilities have a tool that warn them to surface icing forecasts, but only Indji Watch alerts your team based on conductor heights, user selected asset locations and customized alert thresholds. Extreme temperatures, ice accumulation and high wind alerts will allow you to be proactive in your decisions to pre-position material or teams in the field, adjust staffing levels or even de-energize a line before equipment is damaged or downed lines pose a safety risk.

Indji Watch offers Transmission and Distribution System Operators:

• Forecast alerts for combined ice accumulation and high wind alerting at conductor heights up to 72 hours in advance
• Fourteen day, hourly updated icing, high wind, extreme temperature and other forecast dashboards
• Indji Watch’s patented monitoring and alerting system for weather threats specific to your assets
