Vegetation reports for forestry and utility crews
PropelMapper keeps patrol observations, clearance readings and crew follow-ups with the corridor span or woodland compartment you walked.
What the program reads after a corridor patrol
“Dead ash with emerald ash borer exit holes at span 42-43, outside the ROW but tall enough to reach the line.”

Hazard tree survey - Span 42-43, Oct 4, 2026: “Dead ash with emerald ash borer exit holes at span 42-43, outside the ROW but tall enough to reach the line.” The visit form gets Span 42-43, Tree Dead ash, Finding Emerald ash borer exit holes, Exposure Outside the ROW; can reach the line, and the report lists them under Hazard tree survey - Span 42-43.
Corridor patrol coverage by span
Each observation is pinned to the span where the crew recorded it. A program lead can see which spans on the corridor were patrolled this cycle and which are still due.
Programs, corridors and spans
Record from the right-of-way with no signal, and each photo of a hazard tree keeps the GPS point where you stood under the span.

What PropelMapper does not do for forestry and utility vegetation
PropelMapper does not calculate conductor sag or certify electrical clearance.
It does not dispatch trim crews or replace a utility work-management system.
Forestry prescriptions and hazard decisions remain the qualified professional’s work.
Questions about forestry and utility vegetation
Can a crew name tower-to-tower spans?
Yes. Clearway’s example uses a program, corridor and named spans such as Span 42-43. A return patrol opens the history for that same place.
Does visit heat show where vegetation is dangerous?
Visit heat shows the density of recorded observations. It shows where work was recorded, not a risk rating or proof that a corridor meets a clearance standard.
