We Invite You to Join UIGA & Help Drive the Future of Utility Inspections
The utility inspection landscape is rapidly evolving – ushering in a new era of predictive asset management, new technologies and analytics being used for vegetation management, increased analytics for storm preparation and response, and comprehensive strategies that help utilities effectively mitigate wildfires. Our Partnership Program is designed to connect utilities at all levels along the maturity curve with innovative solution providers who are committed to the long-term success of their utility partners.

Why Join the Utility Portal?
We are fortunate to be in an industry that for the most part is noncompetitive, where utilities can come together, collaborate, and share best practices such as:
-
What tool should I use to capture my imagery data? -
Once I have the data, how can I clean it up and store it so it becomes actionable to not only my group, but across my entire organization? -
How does AI / ML factor into this?
We have a group of utilities from all over the world that are going through, or about to go through, some of the same challenges you are facing. This alliance allows you to get help where you might be stuck or help other utilities as they progress through their own journey.
Technology Integration Support
Allow UIGA to facilitate the introductions to solution providers around the globe that can help you with your unique challenges.
Insight Sharing
Stay ahead of trends with access to exclusive industry insights, case studies, and pilot opportunities. Through our dedicated utility-only hub, members can reach out to ask questions, share insights, research solutions, view presentations, listen to UIX recordings or schedule meetings with their peers.
“Here at UIGA, it is our goal to collaborate with utilities, industry associations, and solution providers to foster a community of thought leaders who will play a role in accelerating the remote inspection space in a responsible and meaningful way.”
