“Know your where”

Mike McGill

At Distributech 2019, IKE was focused on simplifying storm hardening for the most affected utilities. Our IKE Analyze solution provides a robust way of knowing which assets will be affected when the next big storm hits their network, so they can better allocate capital to strengthen their network. In the video to the right, Mike McGill (SVP of our Utility and Communications Business Unit) recaps a recent webinar about how IKE Analyze improves capital allocation for storm hardening. The key points for any storm hardening project are:

• The sooner you know where to invest your capital on storm hardening, the sooner you can put that capital to work.
• Trustworthy and photo verifiable structural analysis gives you the confidence to know you are allocating the capital in the right place.

IKE Analyze addresses both of the points using patented technology and tested experts to provide utilities with the knowledge they need to harden their networks against the biggest storms nature can conjure up. It provides that better answer with no wasted time and no wasted money, so storm hardening budgets can go further.

As an added benefit, once collected, the IKE Record can be used for countless other projects including joint use audits, new attachment permitting, and post-construction audits. There is no reason to re-visit a pole if you don’t have to. IKE provides photo verifiable accuracy that lasts.
