Our Director of Engineering Younes Rashidi, P. Eng. is featured in the October issue of Electrical Business Magazine to share his strategy for mitigating risk in electrified public infrastructure using the Active Diagnostic Coverage method and data visualization through heat maps.
“The transition to continuous streetlight system energization could increase the risk of lighting pole shocks to the public. This phenomenon has prompted some cities to consider budgeting for the detection, measurement, and mitigation of the hazard.” — Younes Rashidi, P. Eng.
The successful implementation of this risk mitigation strategy can reduce the risk of contact voltage hazards by up to 99.97 percent.
