Challenges and Results
Accessibility is a key concern, as we routinely navigate challenging terrain—including wetlands, rivers, highways, mountains, and adverse weather—to get the job done. Working closely with our Environmental Matting Division, we stabilize work areas and build access roads to ensure safe operations and future site access. Compliance and permitting was another concern, especially when working across multiple states. We took proactive steps to minimize environmental impacts, protect sensitive habitats and archaeological sites, and coordinate with clients to plan around migration and mating seasons of protected species. Additionally, our capabilities include specialty services performed in-house such as “bare hand” energized line work and servicing cellular equipment on transmission structures.
Our work delivers redundancy in the power supply and a more capable and reliable electric grid for our client’s customers, without noticeably interrupting their service. With more than 900 trucks on the road every day, we respond to work assignments and mobilize for the field at lightning speed. As the client’s contractor of choice from 2011 to 2020, we were proud to have our contract renewed for another five-year term.
