Leveraging Resiliency as a Service^® (RaaS) as an Effective Alternative to Infrastructure Replacement

The Situation

A major investor-owned utility responsible for vast infrastructure across the Northeastern U.S. faced a daunting challenge: how to preserve and strengthen aging steel transmission structures in some of New England’s most unforgiving terrain. Scattered across remote landscapes of rolling hills and rugged mountains, 40 of these towers—built in the 1920s—had withstood nearly a century of service. But time wasn’t their only adversary. The region’s escalating climate extremes—rising flood risks, intensifying winter storms, and shifting weather patterns—posed an even greater threat to their structural integrity.

Faced with the steep costs and long timelines of traditional steel tower replacements, the utility set out to find a smarter, more efficient path forward—one that would not only protect critical infrastructure but also strengthen resilience against the growing pressures of a changing climate.
