The Challenge
Bird nesting and perching on utility infrastructure causes costly outages, equipment damage, and safety hazards across the power grid.
Stop birds from building nests that attract predators.
Prevent bird and snake-related power interruptions.
Keep birds safe while protecting infrastructure.
Threat Analysis
Large nests that cause fouling and short circuits.
Nesting on transformer bushings creates contamination and flashover risk.
Large wingspan causing phase-to-ground faults.
Raptors perching on cross arms bridge phase conductors.
Communal nests that create fire hazards.
Mass nesting in equipment enclosures blocks ventilation.
Highly intelligent birds manipulating equipment.
Tool-use behavior leads to deliberate equipment interference.
Cascading Risk
Bird nests attract snakes seeking prey, which dramatically increases the risk of phase-to-ground faults and equipment outages. A single nest can trigger a chain of events leading to widespread power disruption.
