  When personally looking at line placement and pole placement, one should consider the whole ecosystem. While structure plans for any project are based on engineering, various aspects should be highlighted to best address wildlife mitigation goals .

  It relates to power reliability as the act of improving the reliability of the power grid through the act of eliminating or reducing the severity of, negative impacts to wildlife. By protecting the animals, plants, forests, pasturelands, mountains, and other ecosystems that allow us to survive.

 The durable and long-lasting cutout covers will help to lower the risk of squirrel related outages. This is mainly designed to stop this type of risk by blocking wing access to the arcing horns. Click here for more information.

  This cover provides universal fit and full coverage over the energized portions of a bushing. They are compatible with distribution transformer bushings , capacitors, potheads, and primary metering.

  The purpose of super straps is to securely install raptor guards that protect power lines and deter avian perching with an “X” shape design. They are produced in upright designs with flat bases typically 3 inches wide and 6 inches long. Fiberglass raptor guards are secure in high winds of over 85 mph for sustained periods. They are available with mounts of the flat surface saddle, cross arm, and polearm. 

Artificial perches improve raptor perching efficiency by providing a safe landing space for birds. They are a safe raptor perch alternative typically used in areas with high concentrations of food and prey. Artificial nesting platforms are just one form of raptor protection, designed with a capacity of 200 pounds of nesting material. They are a durable and long-lasting perching alternative with multiple attachment options. Artificial perches are one form of raptor perch deterrent. They can provide birds with a sense of nesting in a large, high tree or other tall structure.  Raptors hunt in open areas such as fields, open spaces, golf courses, and rural plains and meadows. All of these areas are great locations for artificial perches since raptors are birds of prey that provide effective rodent and pest control. Artificial perches can be installed as strategically located vantage points that improve the hunting efficiency of raptors in particular areas. Artificial perches make it e...
