The Challenge
Two sub-transmission lines needed pole replacement and re-conductoring without impacting the utility’s customers
The poles in a radial sub- transmission system were at the end of life... and at risk of failure. New poles had been in place for over 5 years; however, they could not be re-conductored without an 8 hour outage.
The utility was looking for a way to complete their capital project while not impacting their customers or their reliability metrics (i.e. SAIDI & SAIFI). When the field operations team heard what Aggreko was for one particular system, they identified another section of the grid that could benefit from the same work. By bundling the jobs back to back, the utility was able to dramatically improve their productivity.
