New Construction & Upgrades
From open air to existing transmission, we can construct 115kV to underground distribution.
Services we provide
- Installation and retirement of poles
- Retiring conductor
- Realigning existing poles
- Installing transformers, secondary to meter
- Installing guy wires and anchors
- Hot work
Build for the load that’s coming
Demand on the grid only moves one direction. New subdivisions, irrigation, electrified equipment, the occasional data center — the load curve climbs, and lines that carried a rural county comfortably in 1995 are running hot and brittle today. Build too slowly and you're rationing capacity; let it age and you're buying outages on the installment plan.
That's the work we've done since 2000: greenfield transmission and distribution built from the survey stakes up, and tired systems rebuilt conductor by conductor while they stay in service. New capacity engineered to carry what's coming — not just patch what's already here.
How we build it
-
Plan & stake
We walk the route with your engineering, confirm easements, access, and clearances, and turn the design into a build plan with a schedule you can hold us to.
-
Foundations & structures
Set poles and steel — bored, augered, or direct-embed as the soil and span demand — framed to spec and built for the loads of the next few decades, not just today’s peak.
-
String & energize
Pull, sag, and tension conductor to engineered limits, terminate, and bring the line online — coordinated with your operations so switching and outages stay planned, not surprises.
-
Upgrade in service
On rebuilds we reconductor and reframe existing lines while keeping customers energized wherever possible, sequencing the work so downtime is short, scheduled, and communicated.
-
Walk it & hand it off
Inspect, document, and clean up the right-of-way, then hand you a system you can stand behind — with the as-builts to prove it.
What this means for you
- Capacity engineered for what’s coming — lines built to carry tomorrow’s load, not just today’s peak.
- Schedules you can plan around — clear timelines and coordinated outages instead of open-ended disruption.
- Upgrades without the dark — reconductoring and rebuilds done in service wherever the system allows.
- One contractor from stakes to energized — survey, foundations, framing, and stringing handled by the same crews.
- Built to the same standard as everything we do — no major accidents since 2000.
- 25+ yrs building T&D since 2000
- 5 states and counting
- In-service upgrades, lights stay on
- Zero major accidents since 2000
What we've done
Electric cooperative
Multiple projects across the area over four years, setting wood poles, ductile steel poles, and laminate poles.
Electric cooperative
8 miles of three-phase distribution and 7 miles of transmission built to serve dairy loads.
Investor-owned utility
40 miles of T2 conductor pulled with tension stringing.
