How Can We Help
Our services are Powerfully Independent! As a locally-based, independently owned, third-party testing organization, we answer only to you.
So, how do we do it? Through the mastery of what we do (technical expertise), the 24/7 availability and honest accuracy of how we do it (reliability), and the assurance that we will identify hazards and reduce risks (safety).
We provide comprehensive pole construction services, handling everything from the design and framing of the pole structures to the installation of all associated components. This includes the strategic placement of crossarms, insulators, and braces, along with the mounting of critical hardware like switches, arrestors, and jumpers. Our work ensures that each pole is correctly built to specification, creating a robust and safe foundation for the distribution of power.
We perform expert pole installation using specialized pole trucks and augers to bore holes to the precise depth required by job specifications or industry standards. Our crews follow the standard depth formula, which is 10% of the pole's length plus two feet, ensuring a secure and stable base. Once the pole is carefully rigged and set into position with the derrick, we backfill the void and use a hydraulic tamper to compact the fill, guaranteeing the pole's stability and integrity.
We offer skilled transformer services, including the setting and removal of both pole and pad-mounted units. Our capabilities cover a variety of configurations, such as three-phase, split-phase, and single-phase banks. When a transformer is removed, we handle the complete demolition and disposal of all associated materials and components, utilizing both an aerial bucket truck and a pole truck to ensure the work is done safely and efficiently.
We provide complete pole demolition services, handling the safe and efficient removal of poles along with all associated components and materials. Utilizing both a pole truck and an aerial bucket, our team expertly disassembles the structure and its hardware. We ensure all materials are properly removed from the site, leaving the area clear for new construction or restoration.
We provide thorough pole maintenance services, which include a detailed structural inspection from top to bottom using an aerial bucket. During the inspection, we assess all components for damage or signs of aging and perform minor field repairs as needed, such as cleaning and polishing insulators and tightening hardware. Our team also inspects and adjusts mechanical components and air switches, with any defects documented in a comprehensive report that includes recommendations for replacement or further action.
We offer aerial clearance services to remove overhead obstructions and ensure the safety and reliability of power lines. Our team uses an aerial bucket to safely clear debris, animal nesting, and tree limbs that pose a risk of causing outages or damage. This proactive maintenance prevents potential hazards and helps maintain consistent power flow.
We provide comprehensive overhead and underground conductor services, handling the installation and removal of both primary and secondary power lines. Our expertise includes setting up primary overhead conductors, secondary aerial drops, and feeders for both single and three-phase systems. Additionally, we are skilled in the installation and pulling of underground conductors through existing piped systems, ensuring safe and efficient power delivery.
We handle the installation and removal of metering devices used to measure voltage and current, among other parameters. This service includes setting up all associated devices and wiring to ensure accurate and reliable power monitoring. Our work guarantees that the metering equipment is properly installed or removed in compliance with all safety and industry standards.
We install and remove capacitor banks to improve power quality and efficiency by correcting power factor issues. This service includes the complete installation or removal of the capacitor bank devices and all associated wiring. Our work ensures the system operates reliably and within specified electrical parameters, helping to reduce energy costs and improve grid stability.
We install and remove air switches that serve as primary feed disconnects or for other specific purposes. This service involves setting up new switches or safely taking down existing ones, including all associated components and wiring. Our team ensures the switches are properly integrated into the electrical system for their intended function, providing a reliable and accessible point of control or isolation.
We install, repair, and replace recloser units and trip units, which are critical devices for automatically protecting a circuit from overcurrents or short circuits. Our service includes the complete setup or removal of these units, as well as all associated devices, components, and wiring. This work ensures the electrical system is properly protected from faults, minimizing outages and improving overall grid reliability.
We provide comprehensive transformer maintenance and inspection services for both pole-mounted and pad-mounted units, including single and three-phase systems. Our detailed inspection process checks for any signs of damage, aging, or potential faults, ensuring the transformer is operating efficiently and safely. By performing routine maintenance, we help to extend the lifespan of the equipment and prevent unexpected failures.
We provide comprehensive services for exterior and interior switchgear, including isolation switches, transfer switches, and trans closers. Our work involves the operation, maintenance, and replacement of this critical equipment to ensure reliable power distribution and seamless transfers. We ensure that all switchgear is functioning correctly, protecting the system from faults and allowing for safe control of electrical circuits.
We provide emergency call-out services to address urgent issues on power lines, including replacing fuses in cutout devices, and repairing or replacing any damaged components. Our team is available for switching services, providing standby support for planned outages (I.C.E.), and troubleshooting problems on the line side of the system. This service ensures a rapid response to minimize downtime and restore power safely and efficiently.
We offer comprehensive industrial and commercial services, including the installation and demolition of a wide range of electrical infrastructure. This includes setting and removing all types of poles (metal, wood, concrete, fiberglass) and the reconducting or demolition of electrical lines. Our team also handles the installation and removal of associated pole structures, components, and switches, with the understanding that we will only move or transfer communication lines when necessary to access the power lines.
