Retrofitting to Last – Selecting Optimal Wildlife Protection Products
Many power pylons in raptor habitat pose high electrocution risk to raptors, which can be mitigated with insulation products. Retrofitting may require a service outage and can be expensive; labor costs are often far greater than materials.
