Workers drilling a hole into the ground

Project Overview

Riggs Distler is currently working to resolve poor power connectivity issues for Pennsylvania residents by replacing and upgrading an aging electrical network. Customers within the client’s service area are experiencing outage-related issues, and Riggs Distler is tasked with performing extensive upgrades and installations to improve the system and restore service.

Many of our projects involve system reliability improvements, including the installation of distribution automation (DA). DA work installs smart meters, fiber-optic connections, and SCADA switches, so that unplanned circuit outages can be managed remotely, eliminating the need for a worker to go into the field and manually turn the power back on.

Challenges Overcome

Much of Riggs Distler’s work is performed in dense metropolitan areas, requiring additional planning to ensure the safety of our employees, local residents and businesses, and the general public. Scheduling is a major focus—collaborative coordination with the client allows us to complete the necessary work with minimal disturbance to the public and their customers and ensure timely completion.
