UTGIS Utility Testing and Geographic Information Systems LLC
Overview
UTGIS is a leading provider of municipal and utility electrical safety testing,
commonly called STRAY VOLTAGE
While rare, urban stray voltages have in the past injured humans and pets. Typically, these events happen about once every 2-3 years
Of emerging importance are the effects of stray voltages on other buried infrastructure- water and gas lines. 17% of watermain breaks/leaks can be directly related to streetlight stray voltage. While no firm data exists yet, cities with the most stray voltages seem to have the highest number of gas system leaks according to information filed in the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS)
UTGIS developed testing protocols following the recommendations of IEEE 1695-2024(TM) Guide to Understanding, Diagnosing, and Mitigating Stray and Contact Voltage as well as various other standards from the water and gas industries UTGIS is the only firm traversing between hazardously energized objects at speeds of up to 30 mph to measure AC and DC stray voltages. UTGIS and employees have conducted citywide voltage testing in : Seattle WA Baltimore MD Rochester NY Providence RI Palmdale CA Fort Collins CO
