Cable Replacement:

The power company’s ongoing renew and refresh program involves identifying major power corridors and upgrading the distribution cables to handle the increasing loads of neighborhood developments. These projects are assembled once the power consumption thresholds warrant the increased capacity. This doesn’t happen until the landscaping is complete, the existing utilities are overbuilt a number of times and the utility companies have a chance to forget the details of the past 20 years of construction and repair. With the existing primary power running parallel to our construction and the lateral services for power, tel and gas, these drills can become complex to coordinate the elevation changes required to safely pass what’s in the ground. Extra efforts are required to maintain operation and servicability of the power system and continuous communication and coordination with EPCOR representatives is required to ensure all the standards are met and the work follows the power operators delivery requirements.
