A national billion-dollar gas and electric utility company urgently needed to revamp its data management and application development to address a critical safety concern: the risk of falling power lines, which threatened severe wildfires and the continuity of essential services, including hospital operations. The utility faced potential operational inefficiencies, substantial financial losses from reactive maintenance, reputational harm from possible outages and wildfires, as well as legal and regulatory consequences due to infrastructure failures.
That’s where we came in. Launch’s team of engineers partnered with Palantir Technologies, a software company specializing in advanced AI and data analytics software - dedicated to providing powerful platforms for integrating, managing, and securing data across various sectors. Our mission was clear: harness the power of the Palantir Foundry Platform, to establish robust data connections, execute sophisticated data transformations, and develop user-centric applications – all to ensure the identification and replacement of at risk power lines.

Launch helped transform a critical safety challenge into a data-driven strategy—using geospatial risk mapping and advanced analytics to protect infrastructure and communities.
Launch provided highly skilled engineers to augment the utility’s ongoing data integration and application development efforts. The team undertook a multi-faceted approach:
The urgency of this project was underscored by our client’s commitment to underground 10,000 miles of power lines by 2030 -- a proactive measure to mitigate the risks associated with downed power lines and ensure the resilience of power supply to critical services.
Launch’s collaboration with Palantir yielded significant achievements in empowering our client to become a proactive steward of its data:
Through strategic collaboration and technological innovation, Launch and Palantir laid a foundation not only to address the utility’s immediate safety concerns, but also to embark on a long-term transformation of its infrastructure management practices. Targeted data optimization and application development drove significant improvements in public safety, operational efficiency, and environmental stewardship.
