The program includes several sub-programs, each addressing different aspects of wildfire risk. They address high-risk factors such as pole replacement, conductor upgrades, undergrounding, crossarm replacement, and SCADA device installations to detect power line issues. These programs have specific goals reported to CPUC, ensuring compliance and goal achievement each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cordoba\u2019s Role<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-default\" style=\"margin-top:25px;margin-bottom:25px;background-color:#9d2335;color:#9d2335\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Cordoba supports SDG&amp;E\u2019s Electric System Hardening efforts by managing two of the utility\u2019s flagship wildfire\u2011risk reduction programs: the Fire Risk Mitigation (FiRM) Program and the Pole Risk Mitigation and Engineering (PRiME) Program. Our team helps resolve complex challenges\u2014from rights\u2011of\u2011way and environmental constraints to joint\u2011pole coordination and material availability\u2014while keeping each program on schedule and aligned with performance goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the FiRM Program, Cordoba assumed leadership in 2017 and quickly stabilized a program that had struggled under previous managers. We now oversee project management, workflow development, performance tracking, stakeholder coordination, inspections, and closeout, enabling the program to consistently meet annual targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As program manager and owner\u2019s engineer for the PRiME Program, Cordoba leads project management, engineering oversight, permitting, construction coordination, QA\/QC, and reconciliation. We established the program\u2019s PMO framework and introduced tools for quality trending, data management, and continuous improvement, helping the program meet or exceed key performance indicators year after year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview SDG&amp;E\u2019s Electric System Hardening (ESH) Program focuses on reducing fire risk through various strategies like pole replacement, advanced monitoring, covered conductor, and strategic undergrounding.
