The power lines that bring electricity to homes and businesses.
Distribution lines are what carry power the last few miles — from a substation to your neighborhood, your business, or your facility. We build new lines, replace worn-out poles, bury overhead lines underground, and install the transformers that step the voltage down to what your equipment uses. Fourteen full-time crews keep this work moving year-round.

We build, strengthen, and restore the power lines that serve neighborhoods.
- A
New overhead lines
We build new circuits, extend service to new neighborhoods, and add tap lines to existing systems. Both rural and urban work, with full-time crews that keep the schedule predictable.
- B
Underground lines
For neighborhoods that want power lines hidden, or routes where overhead is not practical, we install lines underground. This includes drilling under highways, railroads, and wetlands without digging up the surface.
- C
Hardening programs
We replace weak poles with stronger ones, convert overhead lines to underground in storm-prone areas, and add wildlife guards to prevent outages. All scheduled around the utility’s plans.
- D
New service connections
When a new building or facility needs power, we set the transformer, run the cable, install the meter, and coordinate with the utility for turn-on.
How a project runs, step by step.
- 01
Permits and planning
Review property rights, coordinate with other utilities, plan traffic control, file environmental permits, and notify affected customers.
- 02
Locating and trenching
Our locate crews mark existing underground lines so we know where to dig safely. For trenchless work, our drilling rigs set up to bore under obstacles.
- 03
Building the line
Setting poles, running cross-arms, stringing overhead wire, or pulling underground cable. Installing transformers and connecting them to the system.
- 04
Connecting customers
Coordinating with the utility to switch the new line into service, installing meters, hooking up customer service, and final inspection.
