Challenges and Results

The terrain was the greatest challenge on this project. Specifically, the work sites for each tower were in remote areas, and our drilling and line crews had to use full-track equipment to access the tower sites and complete the work. Work had to be carefully planned with contingencies built into the daily schedule, as there was no cell phone or Wi-Fi service to connect to support staff in our offices. The project had to be completed within strict outage windows specified by the client, and our focus in the field was keeping up with the project schedule while performing all work safely.

Despite the challenges faced, we completed all work on schedule and completed the upgrade of our client’s transmission line infrastructure, ensuring safe operation and reliable electrical service for power users throughout the area. As a result of our performance, the client secured our services for four additional projects in New Hampshire, which are currently underway.
