Lori Gallaugher – Executive Director, Utilities Standards Forum
Generation, Transmission, and Distribution companies as well as municipalities trust us with their most pressing engineering, asset management and corporate strategy objectives related to capital and infrastructure projects.
We also help companies evaluate investment opportunities, identify pre/post-M&A asset integration strategies and develop plans to enhance productivity and profitability.
Utilities need decision-support tools to help guide their prioritization of assets and ensure that investments made to the system are prudent, objective and data-driven. Recognizing the importance of field-captured inspection and testing data, CEATI wanted to develop a reporting solution that would more accurately reflect the local conditions of assets based upon actual degradation modes, as opposed to relying on age to predict end-of-life criteria.
