Energized Powerline Services
Capabilities
Utilizing the industry’s latest techniques and technology
When a utility must take an outage on a particular circuit, it causes inconvenience for them and their end users. By offering energized services, we allow projects of all sizes to be performed with the mitigation or elimination of planned power outages. This capability allows us to offer the best experience possible to utilities nationwide.
Summit’s crews are among the most experienced in live-line maintenance, barehand work, and construction of transmission and distribution lines.
We have extensive experience with the following energized techniques:
Through Quanta Services, we hold exclusive rights to the patented LineMasterTM robotic arm, one of the most significant and innovative technological advances in the energized distribution and transmission business.
This device allows us to safely perform energized work that previously would have been considered impractical due to associated service disruption costs. Because the LineMasterTM quickly creates a safe work zone, the risk of induction is dramatically reduced. The use of energized techniques and technology has allowed us to achieve significant production increases compared to traditional methods. Nearly all of the distribution and transmission services we provide can be completed while systems remain energized.
