1. A system for monitoring a plurality of structures containing utility components, the system comprising:

  • a plurality of sensing devices, each being disposed within one of the plurality of structures, the plurality of sensing devices being distributed within a geographic region, each of the sensing devices having a plurality of sensors for measuring parameters within the associated structure;

    a display operably coupled to the plurality of sensing devices, the display being positioned remotely from the plurality of sensing devices, the plurality of sensing devices measure one or more of combustible gas, stray voltage, contact voltage, infrared signatures, temperature, particulate, and electrical arcing;

    one or more processors coupled for communication to the plurality of sensing devices and the display, wherein the one or more processors are responsive to executable instructions when executed on the processor for performing a method comprising;

    receiving signals representing the measured parameters;

    comparing the measured parameters to predetermined thresholds;

    displaying on the display a plurality of device elements, each device element representing one of the plurality of sensing devices, each of the plurality of device elements being geometrically arranged based at least in part on the geographic distribution of the plurality of sensing devices; and

    displaying on the display a plurality of elements, each of the plurality of elements being associated with one of the plurality of device elements.
