Transmission Infrastructure Built for Reliability & Future Demand
Transmission lines are the highways of the grid, high-voltage, high-consequence infrastructure that requires specialized crews, advanced rigging, and the ability to work above energized distribution systems.
Gridco's transmission teams bring utility-trained leadership, modern equipment, and experience on projects from 46 kV to 230 kV. We self-perform structure installation, conductor stringing, caisson drilling, and energized distribution coordination, delivering transmission projects with safety, precision, and on-time performance.
Our Transmission Capabilities:
- New transmission line construction (46 kV to 230 kV)
- Reconductoring and line upgrades
- Structure installation: wood poles, steel, lattice towers
- Vibratory caisson installation (self-performed)
- Conductor stringing, tensioning, and sagging
- Working above energized distribution lines (hot-line certified)
- Right-of-way coordination and environmental compliance
- Helicopter support coordination for remote or time-sensitive work
Gridco Differentiators:
- Leadership with experience managing $1.5B+ in transmission programs for a major Southeast utility
- Crews comfortable working in complex environments: above live circuits, in congested ROW, alongside rail and highway infrastructure
- Experience with advanced conductors: ACSS, CTC, and pursuing TS Conductor certification
- Equipment: tensioners, pullers, reel trailers, bucket trucks, and specialized rigging
Gridco overhead crews don't just follow prints, they understand the system, anticipate challenges, and deliver work that integrates seamlessly into utility operations.
