HOLLYWOOD, Fla.- NV5 Global, Inc. (the “Company” or “NV5”) (Nasdaq: NVEE), a provider of technology, conformity assessment, and consulting solutions, announced today that it has been awarded $14 million in contract wins by utilities to support asset management and vegetation management of electrical transmission and distribution grid infrastructure.
Increasing demand for electricity without investments in new electrical generation places additional reliability and efficiency requirements on the aging electrical grid. NV5’s geospatial data acquisition technologies, predictive analytics, proprietary algorithms, and engineering design methodologies make it uniquely qualified to assess potential hazards and reliability challenges in utility grid assets.
“Electrification initiatives and the expansion of energy-intensive facilities such as data centers have put unprecedented capacity requirements on the nation’s electrical grid,” said Dickerson Wright, PE, Executive Chairman of NV5. “NV5 scans approximately 100,000 miles of utility transmission and distribution lines each year to assist utilities with meeting the growing demand for electrical service, and the increased adoption of geospatial data for utility infrastructure improvements continues to accelerate organic growth in NV5’s utility geospatial segment.”
A prominent West Coast utility selected NV5 for a one-year, $7 million contract to deliver lidar and imagery for the utility’s asset management and engineering program. The scope of the project includes electrical transmission infrastructure across numerous terrains throughout the utility’s service area.
NV5 was also selected for $7 million of geospatial asset management and electrical distribution infrastructure inspection services. NV5 will identify distribution assets and vegetation encroachments to mitigate fire risks and support service safety and reliability.
