The Amanda A Project in Trenton, Ohio is converting a system from 4 kV to 12.47 kV and is requiring work on the shores of the Great Miami River. Two overhead crews and one cable pulling crew set up on both sides to pull in 1000’ of new conductor across the river using heavy-duty cable pulling equipment The challenge? Limited space for a normal set-up. The crews got the job done by using a transmission bucket on the east side of the river to get to the top of the pole. Thank you to Project Manager Anita Gindling and our amazing crews for being #INTRENStrong! #OutPerformingEveryday

Recently, our transmission crews were #doingessentialwork in New Jersey, where they completed a complex project. The utility customer’s principal project manager congratulated the contractors and consultants on their tremendous successes!“The 0746 Mickleton-Paulsboro-Valero 69 kV circuit rebuild was completed, energized and is now carrying load. Successful rebuild and restoration of the 0746 circuit marks another major milestone for the 69 kV and 12 kV upgrades at Mickleton Substation.”
“At this stage, the Mickleton Substation 69 kV ring bus is energized, and work has been completed on all four (4) of the 69 kV Mickleton transmission circuits. Working through an extremely complex sequence of projects with multiple phases, I would like to express my thanks to all of you for your contributions which directly led to the achievement of this project milestone. Substation improvements, underground transmission, overhead transmission, distribution line, transmission line bypasses, remote ends - - all complex facets that required thorough planning and diligent execution across multiple phases to successfully converge in a coordinated and collaborative effort.”
“Again, thank you, and congratulations on the accomplishment!”

"This morning I was driving in Des Moines, IA when my 5-year old son noticed your work trucks. Being the curious boy, he is at 5-yrs old, he asked what he was doing. Expecting a brief answer, I was surprised when the worker told my son they were digging a hole and asked him if he wanted to see it.The worker climbed out of his truck, put on his safety gear, and walked my son over to the spot they were working on. The worker kneeled and showed my son how they will be using the big bolts to hold the light pole, how the lights were going to be installed and explained the spot where then 5G internet will be on the pole. He even posed for a picture with my boy!
This man totally made a 5-yr old boy's day just by taking the time to show him his work!!"
