See your entire network. Solve your biggest risks first.
Neara's 3D, physics‑based network model lets you predict failures, harden your grid, and unlock capacity across every asset — all in one platform.
Problem universe: Everything you're juggling today.
Keeping communities safe, meeting reliability targets, funding grid hardening, integrating renewables, and proving every decision with data — all while your network is shifting under your feet.
Neara brings all of this into a single, living model of your network — so you can answer every "what if?" before it hits the field.
Today's reality:
- Extreme weather is more frequent, and every fire, flood, storm or heatwave stresses your assets in new ways.
- Asset data is scattered, incomplete, or out of date — making million‑dollar calls risky.
- Field teams are stretched thin, yet you're still relying on manual surveys after every event.
- New load and renewable projects keep stacking up, while building new infrastructure gets harder every year.
How Neara solves it
Model the real network
Unify LiDAR, GIS, and asset records into an engineering‑grade 3D model of your entire network. Every span, structure, and piece of equipment is represented with true geometry and physics — not just lines on a map.
Stress‑test every scenario
Simulate hundreds of environmental and mechanical conditions across your network: fires, floods, storms, wind, heat, ice, clearance, line rating, and more. See where assets will be stressed, where clearances will be breached, and which poles and spans are most likely to fail.
Turn insight into action
Translate model outputs into clear, prioritised actions. Build work plans, justify capex and opex, prioritise patrols, and communicate risk with transparent, auditable data that technical teams and regulators can trust.
Six ways customers are using Neara
-
Know which hardening decisions deliver the greatest resilience gains — before committing a dollar.
Neara helps you:
- Run forward and backward simulations to quantify how capital improvements affect resiliency metrics across different environmental scenarios.
- Perform network‑wide pole loading, FEA, and clearance analyses to identify your true highest‑risk structures.
- Model vegetation encroachment and conductor clashing risk across every span without field visits.
- Produce regulator‑ready evidence that shows exactly how investments were prioritized and why.
Global utilities use Neara to inform seven‑figure grid hardening decisions backed by engineering-grade evidence.
-
Identify and prioritize your biggest wildfire risks across your entire network — without relying on manual field surveys.
Neara helps you:
- Model conductor clearances, vegetation encroachment, and ignition risk across every span simultaneously.
- Simulate conductor behavior under wind, heat, and sag to identify clashing risk before conditions escalate.
- Run FEA‑grade pole loading analysis to find overloaded or under‑rated structures in high‑fire‑risk areas.
- Layer in third‑party fire weather and partner data to refine ignition probability and consequence scores.
Utilities use Neara to identify vegetation and conductor clash risks up to 10x faster and project 50% fault risk reduction in year one.
-
Stress‑test your network against climate extremes and close critical gaps before conditions deteriorate.
Neara helps you:
- Simulate flood, storm, and ice loading scenarios across your entire network to identify your most vulnerable assets.
- Pre‑position crews and materials using network‑wide risk maps informed by real weather and terrain data.
- Run re‑energization analysis to safely and quickly restore power to affected customers after an event.
- Prioritize grid‑hardening investments based on modeled consequence and recurrence probability.
Utilities use Neara to eliminate hundreds of inspection hours and stand up live event models within 48 hours of a major weather emergency.
-
See every asset in full context so you can make smarter decisions across inspection, repair, and replacement.
Neara helps you:
- Reconcile LiDAR and GIS to produce an accurate, complete record of every asset in your network.
- Run AI‑assisted remote inspections to replace arbitrary maintenance cycles with risk‑based programs.
- Quantify capacity utilization across every feeder and segment to defer capital while maintaining safety.
- Layer in third‑party condition data from partners like Osmose and Esri to enrich your asset intelligence.
Utilities use Neara to save millions in annual inspection spend and dramatically extend the useful life of existing infrastructure.
-
Quantify risk, model every intervention, and produce evidence regulators trust — without months of manual analysis.
Neara helps you:
- Model risk at the individual asset level using FEA, structural analysis, and weather simulation — not just age or inspection schedule.
- Run risk spend efficiency analysis to compare program options and find where each dollar reduces the most expected harm.
- Integrate with your existing GIS, CMMS, and work management systems to keep models and decisions in sync.
- Produce regulator‑ready evidence packages that show exactly how capital programs were prioritized.
Utilities use Neara to defer tens of thousands of unnecessary pole replacements while meeting regulatory commitments with documented, engineering‑grade evidence.
-
Explore and optimize routes, upgrades, or rebuilds before any capital is committed.
Neara helps you:
- Design distribution and transmission routes in the full context of existing assets, terrain, and constraints.
- Evaluate undergrounding options and rebuild scenarios with accurate cost‑benefit trade‑offs.
- Validate designs against clearance, loading, and regulatory requirements in minutes, not weeks.
- Automate engineering drawings and handover packages to accelerate construction delivery.
Utilities use Neara to complete network design and validation up to 10x faster — and implement changes up to 85% more efficiently.
Global utilities trust Neara to keep their networks safe from fires, floods, and more — and to move quickly when conditions change.
"Neara has been a game changer for us. We can now model the impact of flooding on our network before the flood hits, giving us the ability to pre-position crews and materials, and restore power significantly faster. "
