Fire mitigation in electrical infrastructure corridors
The Fireproof Green Barrier operates as a living vegetation system with a fire-retardant function, designed to interrupt the continuity of combustible material, reduce wind speed at ground level, and maintain higher soil and vegetation moisture, serving as a technical alternative to dry firebreaks in right-of-way (ROW) corridors.
IN THE MOUNTAINS WHERE THE FIRE CAME, THERE ARE LEVEL ROADS, AND WE CAN MAKE MORE OF THESE ROADS WIDER TO PLANT THE GREEN FIREPROOF BARRIER
TEAM
• Wagron Sat
• Dedicated to the use of high-resolution satellite imagery, precision agriculture, soil and leaf analysis, carbon credit monitoring, and identification of plants naturally resistant to fire.
• In partnership with the global company Planet, Wagron Sat detects fire-affected areas, evaluates biomass, vegetative vigor, and humidity, and directs high-efficiency environmental restoration solutions.
• Wagron Seeds
• Focused on the multiplication of selected seeds with its own registration and RENASEM certification on a farm in the state of Mato Grosso.
• It is also responsible for the trade and export of certified seeds, ensuring the origin, purity, and genetic quality of the species used in the green barriers.
• Wagron Biosciences
• Research and biotechnology development unit focused on creating root bio-stimulants, foliar thermal protection products, and biological treatments applied via drone to increase the natural resilience and vigor of plants under extreme heat.
• It also develops and applies mechanization techniques to keep the Green Barrier renewed and productive every year, ensuring self-sustainability and long-term functionality.
• These plants also help control disease-transmitting insects by attracting natural predators that feed on pests, maintaining a healthy pollination habitat and a balanced ecosystem.
• 4. Patent and Reliability
• The Wagron Carbon IN – Intelligent Green Fireproof Barrier model is protected by a patent in Brazil, ensuring the originality and authenticity of the technique.
• The methodology is recognized for its efficiency, resistance, and sustainability, combining scientific and empirical knowledge developed over years of research by agronomist engineers specialized in fire-resilient ecosystems.
TECHNOLOGY: FIREPROOF GREEN BARRIER
Unlike temporary interventions, the FGB uses strategically managed vegetation to reduce environmental flammability, improve microclimatic conditions, and increase surface soil stability, enabling direct integration into electrical corridors.
APPLICATIONS: UTILITIES AND GOVERNMENT
While one section of the green barrier is fully grown and operational, the formation of the next section begins immediately beside it.The process works in a continuous and synchronized cycle: the tractor prepares the soil by tilling and incorporating the residue into the ground, and right behind it the drone follows, precisely spreading the seeds over the freshly prepared area.As this new strip begins to grow, it develops naturally through its stages until it reaches the height and density of the main barrier. Once the right-side barrier is fully formed, the left-side barrier will be renewed using the same sequence — and the cycle continues indefinitely.This alternating renewal system ensures the barrier is always impeccable, always green, and always ready to operate, protecting forests, cities, roads, and entire communities.The barrier has unique characteristics:Maintains high natural humidity in the soil and surrounding air;Develops deep root systems, reaching lower layers to access water even during drought periods;Acts as a natural carbon sink, capturing large amounts of carbon and reducing air pollution;Creates a cooler and more humid microclimate;Helps stabilize slopes and high-risk areas;Functions as a living barrier 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.With this continuous cycle of formation and renewal, the Fireproof Green Barrier remains permanently active, efficient, and sustainable — delivering one of the most advanced environmental protection and wildfire-prevention solutions ever developed.
The system is compatible with electric utility operations and public-sector projects, including slope stabilization, asset protection, and climate resilience.
FIELD CONTEXT / VISUAL EVIDENCE
Unlike temporary interventions, the FGB uses strategically managed vegetation to reduce environmental flammability, improve microclimatic conditions, and increase surface soil stability, enabling direct integration into electrical corridors.
Erosion Threatening Power Transmission Towers
Severe soil erosion and landslide processes on slopes and steep terrains pose a growing risk to critical electrical energy infrastructure. In several locations, soil loss is advancing rapidly, exposing and compromising the foundations of transmission and distribution towers.
Terrain instability reduces the load-bearing capacity of these structures, increasing the risk of tilting or partial to total collapse—especially during periods of heavy rainfall, strong winds, or seismic events. This scenario can result in prolonged power outages, additional environmental damage, and direct risks to public safety.
Beyond operational impacts, the need for emergency interventions significantly increases maintenance costs for utilities, while simultaneously exposing nearby communities to risks of accidents, fires, and blackouts.
Given this context, there is an urgent need to adopt preventive and sustainable solutions for soil stabilization and erosion control—solutions capable of protecting tower foundations, restoring ground integrity, and ensuring the long-term resilience of energy infrastructure.
