- This was off Rockyford near the intersection with Greenbriar Drive. The power went out and I could hear arcing. The arcing happened a second time and I seen a shadow on my wall telling me it was close. I went outside and seen the pole in two pieces with fire poking out. Least to say I helped this replacement happen and my power restored faster than if I did not do anything.

I am a desk jockey but had an opportunity to work with some AEP linemen on the streets. This is pretty much what I saw. I have the utmost respect for them and what they do. One of them I rode truck with actually has a master's degree and his wife is a cardiologist. Most of them take great pride in their work and are a close-knit group - your first mistake can be your last.
This confusing energy distribution system, which is over 100 years old, here in Portugal has been replaced by new insulated cables and you no longer see these wires all exposed to the weather. Energy losses are minimal and breakdowns are almost non-existent. I liked the video.
Very nice work sir
Nice work Indiana power Curtis Harlan
Impressive coordination on a complicated repair. I cannot help but think how tough a job this must have been way back when lineman mainly just climbed the poles. Even with all the bucket trucks its clearly a tough job.
I am surprised how many companies fix their posts into the ground the usual way and not a preposthole method. We used it for rail station lamppost installations so they could be easily replaced without the need to dig up a platform.
First a standard hole was dug and a twinwalled pipe installed of the required size(slightly bigger than the post for tamping) the power ducting installed into it (for lampposts) then backfilled with concrete. The ground around can then be reinstated after that if the pole is damaged it is simply removed and another put in. The method used would be pole in sand poured around it while it is plumbed then when full and tamped down, the top of the hole is capped with cement.
Good job, gentlemen!
Nice video!
Selon ma petite cervelle de zoiseau , en dehors des Américains je ne pense pas qu'l y ait au monde quelqu'un capable d'un tel exploit ! A ces vaillants électriciens je dois bien leur tirer ma révérence : Messieurs chapeau !
En France on sait faire pareil et avec moins de monde mais sûrement plus de contraintes de sécurité et de procédure que chez eux et surtout moins de monde pour un seul sinistre et surtout pas avec 3 nacelles ici c'est le grand luxe niveau matériel. Je suis bien placé pour savoir de quoi je parle car je fais partie de ces hommes mais pas ceux que l'on voit dans ce film puisqu'étant en France.
Not gonna Monday morning qb, but a couple of interesting tidbits. Interesting how different places use different methods.

Timelapse?
What's a 'handline'...?
Great job ……but a 9 man crew? Or was it 10
Each man in a bucket depends on his ground worker that 6 alone. Then you have the digger having deal with the old pole
About half a dozen vehicles showed up. This guy in the heavy green jacket had his own pickup off camera. There were two bucket trucks off camera assisting in each direction and they didn't stay very long once they did what they could do.
@@linehandibew6205 that’s not always the case at utilities. We are only allowed 4 apprentices per 1 lineman. Lineman don’t stay at utility companies so when it’s only 2 lineman then on a pole like this we tend to work together because 1st step apprentices can’t do the work.
Lol what they were just supposed to send super man? If you got the body's send'em. Team work makes the dream work.

Je suis surtout surpris de voir qu'aux USA 1ere puissance mondiale, qu'en 2023 vous ayez des réseaux électriques aussi merdiques. On se croirait dans un pays du tiers monde. Nous en France, nos lignes 20 kV quand elles sont pourries c'est du luxe à côté de ce que je peux voir sur ce film. Franchement bravo aux électriciens qui interviennent sur ce genre de pétaudière.
