Bird Diverters & Hazing
Bird diverters from P&R Tech help utilities save birds, prevent damage, and avoid fines.
- Millions of birds and bats are killed each year in collisions with power lines, guy wires, and other thin profile obstructions.
- Utilities can be subject to large federal fines when protected species are killed.
- Bird strikes also cause power outages.
- Bird nests and droppings cause millions of dollars in damage each year to transformers and other electrical equipment.
Independent studies show FireFly and BirdMark to be the most effective bird diverters. They have been tested by EPRI and recommended by U.S. Fish and Wildlife. They also have a lower installed cost than coils.
