The Challenge
Two Sub-Transmission lines needed pole replacement and re-conductoring without impacting the utility's customers
A radial sub-transmission system's poles were at the end of life and at risk of failure. New poles had been in place for over five years although they could not be re-conductored without an eight-hour outage. The utility was looking for a way to complete their capital project while not impacting their customers or their SAIDI & SAIFI metrics. When the field operations team heard what Aggreko was providing for the one system they identified, another location with a similar load and voltage asked for help. By bundling the jobs back to back, the utility was able to dramatically improve their productivity.
