Tree trimming for safety, reliability and the trees' health

Did you know trees are the leading cause of power outages?

That’s why 坦帕电 designed a tree trimming program that minimizes tree conflicts and maximizes tree health and power reliability. To ensure we maintain a balance between nature and reliability, we only employ certified Arborists and degreed Foresters to oversee our tree-trimming activities. 基于澳门线上真人博彩官网的成功记录, we’ve been recognized by the National Arbor Day Foundation™, in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters, as a Tree Line USA utility for the past 15 consecutive years.

安全第一围绕树木

Only qualified tree contractors should trim trees in general, and especially around power lines. 报告树枝 那可能会干扰电力供应.

为什么预防性植被管理很重要

坦帕电 conducts vegetation management as part of our commitment to providing our customers with safe and reliable electric service. Trees in contact with electrical conductors are often problematic. 电力中断, 短暂的中断, 电致火灾, 个人财产损失, 甚至人身伤害都是潜在的后果. 和大多数公用事业一样, trees are among the leading causes of power outages on the 坦帕电 system. 坦帕电's Vegetation Management program is designed to minimize tree conflicts while maximizing system reliability.

In our commitment to safety, we strictly follow OSHA guideline ANSI z - 133, which states that only qualified line clearance tree trimmers shall perform tree trimming within the 10-foot approach space of an electrical utility line.

In addition to making tree safety around power lines a top priority, 澳门线上真人博彩官网鼓励您遵循以下准则:

  • 架空/地下线路间隙. Overhead power lines on or near your property can interact with trees, 造成电涌和其他潜在风险. Underground cables can also come into contact with the root systems of trees. Don't plant shrubs or flowers around electric transformers, which are located on the ground in a metal box on a concrete or plastic base.
    • 参考澳门线上真人博彩官网的 植树 & 安全指南 to learn how the right trees – planted and maintained safely – can help make our community beautiful.
  • 挖掘可能很危险. 安全 is the most important thing to remember when working with trees large and small. Be sure to call 811 before you dig on your property to plant or move a tree. 在挖掘页面之前了解更多信息.
  • 小心你的天线. 安装电视, satellite or radio antennas away from power lines – at least the height of the antenna plus an extra 10 feet.
  • 小心行事. Educate your children about electrical safety and make them aware of overhead power lines. If your kids plan to fly a kite, make sure they're in an open field away from electrical lines. 又湿又脏的风筝线可以导电.

请保持电线远离植物

虽然这是澳门线上真人博彩官网的 服务的责任 负责实际维修服务线路, it is the responsibility of individual customers to keep their service wires clear of vegetation. Vegetation that comes into contact with electrical infrastructure such as service wires can cause power interruptions or more dangerous situations.

坦帕电's contract tree crews regularly evaluate service wires during routine maintenance. If there's a mechanical strain on the wire, crews may trim at that time. In some instances, further work by the customer is required in order to fully clear the service wire.

澳门网上真人赌博官网, 应客户要求, de-energize (or "drop") the service wire to allow for the safe completion of such work. Only licensed and trained professionals should trim trees near power lines and other energized equipment. We urge those trimming trees near power lines to exercise extreme caution to prevent serious injury or death.

If you believe there's a problem with your service wire and would like 坦帕电 to re-evaluate its status, 请 报告一个问题 或联络澳门线上真人博彩官网的 客户服务部.

修剪

电力服务对你的家庭和社区是很重要的. 你的树也是如此. When we trim trees growing too near or into power lines, we prioritize both. 保持可靠性和树的健康, 坦帕电 adheres to the Florida Administrative Code, 第366章, 公共事业法令366.04, 国家电气安全标准(NESC)第21条, 第2部分, Rule 218 and the American National Standards Institute pruning standards (ANSI) A300, 第1部分, Part 7和Z-133, 以及特别的配套出版物, 最佳管理实践-树木的实用修剪.

澳门线上真人博彩官网如何修剪树木

坦帕电 uses qualified professional tree trimming contractors that follow ANSI a - 300 and OSHA guidelines to manage the vegetation around our electrical facilities. 为了做到这一点,澳门线上真人博彩官网使用两种类型的修剪:

  • Lateral 修剪: removal of tree limbs at natural detachment points to help facilitate healing around the pruning site.
  • Directional 修剪: the deliberate attempt to remove those limbs growing towards the conductors and to train the tree to grow away from electrical facilities.

Cutting limbs to proper laterals helps minimize re-sprouting, which reduces the amount of re-growth into electrical facilities. 修剪 to a proper lateral does not harm the tree's natural defense systems. 相反,这有助于保护树木免受腐烂. Note: is not our primary intent to trim the whole tree or to trim for aesthetic purposes.

例行修剪的重要性

A tree that is not maintained on a routine cycle will assume its normal form, which may put it in danger of coming into contact with electrical infrastructure, resulting in the need to extensively prune or remove the tree.

尽量减少切割的次数

坦帕电's tree trimming crews work to minimize the number of pruning cuts to a tree in order to prevent serious injury to the tree. The intent with quality vegetation management is to remove whole branches that are growing toward utility facilities. 当指定间隙距离时(例如, 10 feet) the cut should be made at the next suitable lateral of parent limb beyond the specified distance.

定向修剪

定向修剪 (also known as natural pruning) is most effective when tree characteristics such as size, shape and expected growth rate are taken into consideration. Proper directional pruning of trees growing directly beneath facilities (left) or beside them (right) helps direct future tree growth away from the facilities.

Removal of overhanging vegetation may or may not be necessary, 取决于公用设施的类型, 树种和其他因素. Overhang is never acceptable over high-priority facilities such as high-voltage electric transmission lines.

四舍五入和存根

排在, topping or stubbing severely damages trees (see diagram at left) is a discredited practice. Many tree species respond to this type of pruning with a flush of fast-growing sprouts, 它可以迅速超过设施(右).

棕榈修剪

Many palm species grow large enough to affect utility facilities. Their large fronds sway in the wind and may break free, causing damage to equipment. Palms cannot be reduced in height or directionally pruned like other trees. The best solution for palms interfering with utility facilities is removal or relocation.

种植

当你种树的时候, it's important to consider where to plant them – and to make sure you're planting the right trees. 参考澳门线上真人博彩官网的 植树 & 安全指南 寻求帮助.

在电力基础设施周围负责任地种植

While we use pruning methods that prioritize the health of trees, you can do your part by planting trees and shrubs appropriate distances from power lines, 变压器和其他类型的电气设备. 因为城市和县的种植指南各不相同, 一定要检查那些适用于你的社区. To determine the location of 坦帕电 and other underground utility service lines in Florida, 电话免费 811.

Better reliability through managed and well-placed vegetation means fewer power interruptions for you and your neighbors. More importantly, trees that touch power lines can create dangerous situations. In general, only licensed professionals should prune trees. That's especially true with trees near electrical infrastructure. Our crews are just a website form or phone call away – so let us know if you see trees growing into power lines.

Energy efficiency and more As with safety and reliability, one of 坦帕电's top priorities is helping our customers save energy. We have numerous programs, many of them free, that can help. 树木也可以发挥作用.

你知道种植落叶树吗, 它们一年中有一段时间会落叶, on the east and west sides of your home can cool it by up to 10 degrees in summer and warm it by 10 degrees in winter? Shading your air conditioning unit with trees can help it run more efficiently, reducing your electricity consumption by up to 10 percent. You can gain additional benefits by shading sidewalks, driveways and patios.

种植的时候,选择当地的——或者至少是适合佛罗里达的

为了你种的树,这很重要, 还有环境, to plant native trees as much as possible and to avoid planting invasive species. Native plants are better suited to local growing conditions. Invasive species, on the other hand, can grow out of control and choke out beneficial species.

对佛罗里达友好的植物是那些, 虽然不是本地的, 在适当的地区和地带生长良好. 这里有适合佛罗里达的本土植物, 不仅物种更有可能繁衍生息, 而且植物和灌木也需要较少的水, 肥料和全面护理.
