Master Service Agreement Projects

The team continued to perform work under our Master Service Agreement with Eversource in New Hampshire. Scopes of work included replacing open wire conductor with spacer cable “tree” wire to help with reliability, replacing right of way distribution poles, installing automation devices and responding to multiple storm events within Eversources’ territories in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.
