Community-Focused Utility Services

Cooperatives champion a rural community’s desire for reliable and affordable power, closely intertwining their goals with the communities they serve. The power provided by a utility cooperative helps the businesses and homes of members stay up and running in rural communities while directly funneling funds back into the community through infrastructure upgrades and design, pole inventories, job opportunities, and more.  

Davey Utility Solutions has decades of experience creating fully customizable, cradle-to-grave solutions for utility cooperative clients, including pole inventories, infrastructure design, storm damage assessments, vegetation management, broadband buildouts, and more. Davey’s strong partnerships with cooperatives create a reliable support system that flows to the people in the communities they serve. 

Asset Management

Asset Management Consulting

We understand that properly working infrastructure is critical for utility cooperatives to provide reliable power. Davey Resource Group uses advanced technology and software to offer a comprehensive suite of inspection and design services to develop a reliability strategy that prevents outages, achieves compliance goals, and improves safety and reliability metrics.

Vegetation Management

Vegetation Management Consulting

Davey Resource Group prides itself on a client-centered approach to vegetation management on the right-of-way. Our wide range of expertise includes reliability-focused work planning, compliance reporting and documentation, comprehensive management programs that include herbicide applications, and technology solutions like GIS, LiDAR, and our proprietary ResourceKeeper software. 

Line Clearance2

Utility Line Clearance

When it comes to trees and other vegetation near utility power lines, cooperatives are responsible for ensuring encroachments don’t pose safety hazards or disrupt service. Davey’s experts work with cooperatives to identify their vegetation management goals for tree trimming in the right-of-way. Our services include everything from distribution and transmission right-of-way clearance to utility forestry consulting services, storm recovery and emergency services to help restore power during and after natural disasters and land clearing for ROW expansions and additions.
