DISTRIBUTION

We construct and maintain overhead and underground distribution systems for electric utilities, municipalities, and cooperatives. Considerable planning is necessary to manage distribution systems in terms of safety, operation, budget, environmental concerns, and coordination with government agencies. Even when working in critical outages or constrained schedules, we provide safe, quality construction delivered on time and within budget.

The need for fewer interruptions in service require specialized equipment and innovative techniques. Our state-of-the-art equipment allows work on distribution systems with no interruption to power delivery. We also have the expertise to help utilities successfully convert from a standard distribution grid to a smart grid for enhanced power delivery.

ENERGIZED SERVICES

We can maintain, upgrade, or rebuild virtually any voltage line – without interrupting the flow of power to consumers. All types of repairs and maintenance, including structure change outs, reconductoring, emergency repairs, and equipment replacement can be performed with the line energized avoiding the issue of congestion and taking the facility off-line.

During energized conditions, we use established hot stick and barehand energized techniques and the proprietary LineMasterTM Robotic Arm. This cutting-edge technology provides significant advantages for worker safety and efficiency as well as value for customers with a critical dependency on a single flow path.

Personnel safety is paramount. Our position as a subsidiary of Quanta Services is a key differentiator in safely providing energized services. Our energized crews receive extensive specialized training and oversight from Quanta’s Energized Service Group to ensure we deploy the most effective tools and procedures in the industry.

  • Upgrade Relief to Congested Paths without Scheduling Outages
  • Reuse of Existing ROW
  • Reduce Matting and Footprints in Wetlands
  • Reduce Operational Costs and Delays of Line Switching and Grounding
  • Emergency Repairs to Generator Switchyards without Plant Outage
