Hurricane Isaias Restoration Efforts

Located in NJ, PA, MA, VT, IL, NY, & CT

  • Capability
    • Emergency Response & Storm Restoration
  • Completion August 2020

Project Overview

In summer 2020, Hurricane Isaias and a system of derecho storms caused widespread destruction to the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. With Hurricane Isaias producing sustained winds up to 85 mph, the storms decimated local infrastructure, leaving over 2 million customers without power in the New York–New Jersey–Connecticut tri-state area alone. As a leading storm and emergency restoration services provider, we partnered with several East Coast’s power providers to quickly repair the damaged power networks and restore power for millions of customers.

Key Highlights

At the peak of our efforts, we mobilized more than 350 full-time employees and 300 vehicles, as well as 75 full-time employees responding to the derecho storms in the Midwest.

Project Scope of Work Included:

  • Storm Preparation and Delivery of Equipment
  • Circuit, Substation, and Distribution Line Restoration
  • Hazard Clearing
  • Pole Stripping
  • Repairing and Raising Downed Transmission and Distribution Lines

Challenges and Results

Working in after-storm environments with downed power lines, inaccessible obstructed site access, and uncertain conditions required care and communication. Our supervisors worked closely with the host utilities and other construction contractors operating in the area to devise safe and efficient solutions to restoring power. Despite extensive damage and a lack of local resources, our crews worked swiftly to remove hazards, repair poles and substation infrastructure, and restore transmission and distribution line service.

Thanks to proactive planning, we quickly responded to Hurricane Isaias. Our teams worked tirelessly, 16 hours a day and 7 days a week, to restore service for our utility clients and their customers.
