Downed overhead power lines can create safety issues and extend power outages. Loss of power causes all types of issues to commercial and and industrial businesses. Missed deadlines, lack of product, damage to systems, loss of data, missed forecasting and all types of other issues can result when there is no power, regardless of the duration. Therefore, repairing downed power lines needs to begin immediately regardless of the weather before it can cause even greater issues to industrial processes.
Violent wind, ice, and severe snow can damage overhead power lines. Violent stores are common in the winter snapping electricity lines and bringing down utility poles. However, power line storm response teams from utility companies and from electric line construction companies can act immediately to make the necessary repairs and restore power as soon as possible.
During the winter months, regular repair and maintenance to overhead power lines must be conducted to reinforce the system for public safety and for productive business. This protocol ensures that power lines and poles are up to the standard to prevent untoward incidents. If there is a need for power line repairs and maintenance, contact ElecComm.
