Osmose

For years, two myths have persisted in our industry: ▪️Poles set in concrete can't be restored ▪️Poles with obstructions can't be restored 💡The reality: Osmose crews have been busting those myths for decades with hundreds of thousands of successful pole restorations across the country. In fact, our Osmose Tough Truss® Core is uniquely designed and engineered to fit nearly all transmission and distribution wood pole sizes considered unrestorable due to obstruction. Let us help you overcome your obstacles—connect with us today: https://lnkd.in/euBZJM7C #MythsBusted #UtilityInfrastructure #ElectricUtility #CapitalizedLifeExtension #Osmose

Mark Messenger, P.E., Senior Director of Engineering for Osmose, had the pleasure of presenting a case study on Day 2 of CEATI T&D Conference, highlighting how advanced engineering techniques can be used to evaluate transmission structures under extreme loading conditions and extend the life of these critical assets. His session focused on identifying critical members within existing towers and implementing targeted hardening strategies that not only improve structural performance during severe loading events but also increase long-term resiliency. This approach supports more cost-effective decision-making by directing investment to the components that matter most. Key points from the presentation included: -Using advanced analytical models to better understand true structural behavior under failure-level loading conditions. -Identifying the members and connections that govern system capacity and drive key failure modes. -Developing targeted hardening options that deliver the greatest resiliency benefit with minimal capital investment. -Integrating field assessment data with engineering models to improve accuracy and guide optimized asset-management plans. This methodology demonstrates how utilities can shift from broad, system-wide upgrades to precision-focused structural improvements, maximizing the value of each investment while enhancing grid reliability and long-term resiliency. #resiliency #utilityindustry #utilityinnovation #gridreliability #structuralresiliency

Osmose Senior Director Chad Newton had the fantastic opportunity to co-present on Resiliency NOW! A Utility's Experience with Rapidly Analyzing & Upgrading Circuits to Improve Resiliency with Daniel Weinhold of Baltimore Gas and Electric during Day 1 of CEATI. Along with industry challenges and prescriptive actions from innovative assessment techniques, the two shared a recent project completed on two of BGE's under-performing circuits. Key takeaways from the project: 💠 Scope: data collection, analysis, and rapid resiliency outcomes 💠 Project implementation within 7-8 weeks 💠 Project was fully capitalized 💠 Line segments which previously experienced multiple outage events annually and have experienced ZERO since project completion We're proud to have partnered with BGE on this project and hope this presentation inspires more utilities to consider cost- and time-efficient, technology-driven strategies to enhance infrastructure performance! 💡 Interested in learning more about rapid resiliency?

Another successful Osmose University Seminar in the books! Thanks to all of the attendees, speakers, and partners who made this Texas event impactful. Until next time! #TexasSeminar #OsmoseUniversity #UtilityIndustry #UtilityInnovation

Our recent Fall Member Meeting panel discussion on Aging Transmission: Affordability and Resilience, brought together industry experts to explore how we can balance modernization with asset longevity. Key takeaways from the conversation: ⚡ Transmission infrastructure delivers critical economic and societal value, serving as the backbone of reliability and growth. ⚡ Many grid assets have operated beyond their traditionally considered 30–50 year lifespans. We need to rethink what is the true life span of an asset, which is closer to 100 years, and what can be done to prolong the tenure of this critical infrastructure. ⚡ While modernizing and expanding the grid is essential, utilities are also finding new ways to extend the life and enhance the performance of existing assets through upgrades and advanced transmission technology. ⚡ Existing transmission corridors are a gift — offering valuable opportunities to build upon established pathways and accelerate expansion. ⚡ Capitalized life extension is a growing trend to improve affordability and sustainability while maintaining reliability. ⚡ Regulatory innovation should incentivize solutions with the lowest life cycle cost. Thank you to our expert panelists, pictured (L-R): 🔹 Ben Lanz, APC Media LLC - Moderator 🔹 Vandan Divatia, Eversource Energy 🔹 Jose Villalba, Osmose 🔹 Raymond Gifford, Wilkinson Barker Knauer, LLP A recording of the discussion is now available on the Fall Member Meeting page: https://lnkd.in/eex5ZZsD #transmission #gridassets #criticalinfrastructure #resilientgrid #gridreliability #stronggrid #grid #AI #datacenters

At the 2025 NESC Workshop in Las Vegas, Mark Messenger, P.E., Sr. Director of Engineering at Osmose and a Principal Member of NESC Subcommittee 5 – Strength & Loading, delivered a presentation on structural resiliency in distribution and transmission systems.   His session highlighted how field assessments, advanced structural analysis techniques, and targeted hardening strategies are being combined to mitigate risk, enhance performance, quantify structural resiliency, and extend the service life of critical grid infrastructure. #Osmose #transmission #gridresilience #gridreliability #resiliencyanalysis
