Precision Overhead Construction for Reliability & Growth
Overhead distribution is the backbone of utility service, and it demands crews who understand clearances, load calculations, right-of-way coordination, and the pace of keeping systems energized while building new infrastructure.
Gridco's overhead teams bring utility-grade discipline to every project: new construction, system upgrades, automation integration, vegetation management coordination, and storm hardening. Our foremen and linemen are trained for both routine work and complex, high-visibility builds that require precision and speed.
Our Overhead Capabilities:
- New line construction (single-phase, three-phase, URD conversions)
- Pole installation, setting, and replacement
- Reconductoring and line upgrades
- Distribution automation device installation (reclosers, TripSavers, SCADA integration)
- Storm hardening and resilience improvements
- Emergency troubleshooting and hot-line maintenance
- Coordinated outage management
What Utilities Value:
- Experienced crews capable of working energized or planned outages
- Modern equipment: digger derricks, bucket trucks, tensioners, and specialized tooling
- Understanding of utility standards, material specs, and regional code requirements
- Proactive communication with ops centers, engineering, and field supervision
Gridco overhead crews don't just follow prints, they understand the system, anticipate challenges, and deliver work that integrates seamlessly into utility operations.
