Live Line Training - Bare Hands

The Power Group has identified a need with our existing and emerging utility customers to enhance our “live-line” service offering. Our crews are undergoing training and certification to bring us from the more conventional hot stick method of working on energized transmission lines to working higher voltages with a “bare hand” live-line method. This allows for crews to complete more complicated construction and maintenance activities without the need for taking an outage on the transmission line. There is an extraordinary amount of tooling, equipment, training and coordination required to complete this type of work. Our Live-Line Committee has been working for over a year with our consultant to develop, refine and implement the live-line training manual and work methods documents. This will expand our already robust list of services we offer our utility customers and allow us to deliver more complex projects throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.
