Earlier this week, all over Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire, sudden summer thunderstorms reaped havoc on trees, homes and power lines causing power outages for hundreds of customers. Summer storms happen anywhere at any time, especially during hurricane season. Utility companies regularly contract electric line construction companies for utility line repair and maintenance in order to get their customers’ power turned back on as soon as possible.

Utility companies and electric line construction companies need reputable storm response teams from line construction companies who are fully crossed trained and are ready for dispatch in preparation for any planned or unplanned weather event.

ElecComm provides assistance to major public utilities companies throughout Massachusetts and New England including PSNH, WMECO, Unitil, NHEC, and NSTAR,  restoring power during major power outages resulting from storms. For more information on ECC, contact us.

The home buying market place has inspired the construction on numerous condominium complexes and apartment homes. Additionally, the improving economy has spurned the new construction of strip malls and shopping complexes. All of this residential and commercial construction requires new electrical lines and high voltage cables for residents and businesses.
 
As construction companies build, the electricity for these large communities and shopping centers needs to be tied into the existing power grid. Power and cable needs to run to this new construction. Electric line construction companies have the time, equipment and expertise for project management and the completion of the project in the required time frame.

This kind of project requires the erecting of the transmission structures, the wiring of the transmission lines. New lines and towers are necessary so there is no overload to the existing electrical infrastructure. This gives the apartments, condos and shopping areas the right amount of power without  overextending the grid.

Electric line construction companies work with public utility companies in the construction of electric. If you are a construction company building a large complex in the Boston area, contact ElecComm.

Golf season is upon us in full swing, but still, many golf courses and driving ranges around New England need golf course netting repair or replacement. With an most golf courses seeing an increase in business this year of recent years, now is the time to increase the size of the range or do overdue repairs to golf course netting and lights.

Golf course netting needs to be safe and secure in order to protect against property damage and personal injury which is why, at ElecComm , our golf course netting is done with Redden nets.

If you need repair and maintenance on netting and poles, now is the time. Your business does not want to be held liable for personal injury or property damage. If you have been contemplating adding driving ranges to your course, now is the time while the economy is getting stronger and interest in golf is on the rise.

ElecComm provides  free estimates on installation of poles and netting for golf driving ranges and golf courses. With us, your netting, poles and lights installation will custom fit your needs. You will be completely satisfied with every golf course netting install we do. For information, contact ElecComm.

Hurricane season is upon us. Summer storms can be fierce. The tornado in Oklahoma gave us something to think about when we think about power infrastructure repair. Oklahoma Gas & Electric (OG&E) has been frantically attempting to restore power to those tornado-damaged areas that are able to accept electric service.

More than 41,000 OG&E customers were without power. Presently there are now only 5000 customers without power, however several thousand of those are unable to accept power at this time.

Following natural disasters, ElecComm has employees, contractors and crews who can assist New England and New York utility companies to replace or repair electric lines and power infrastructure. ElecComm has been called upon regularly by area utility companies to help restore power to normal operating conditions after natural disasters.

As the weather warms, golf courses and driving ranges are looking to improve their venues or to add more amenities. If you golf course is looking to add a driving range or to expand, consider your golf course netting, lights and poles.  Safety is the paramount concern. With more golfers heading to the range, a new driving range with 20 stations has the potential to increase the annual revenue dramatically.

To address the problem of the safety of your patrons and the surrounding buildings, driving ranges and golf courses need to install a protective driving range net to safeguard the building and surrounds. With more apartment complexes being built on golf courses makes quality golf course netting even more important than in the past.

Golf is a huge program for boys and girls in high school now. However, existing ranges often get overcrowded with the public and the high school kids on the ranges with other golfers.  New or larger golf driving ranges are a great way to grow the game.

At ElecComm we provide installation of poles and netting for golf driving ranges and golf courses along with replacement netting and free estimates. All netting is done with Redden Nets. For more information, contact ElecComm.

Now is the time to fix up your golf courses and driving ranges. Golf course netting and poles are a necessary safety precaution, but replacement nets are important to course aesthetics as well, which is important now that participation in the game is picking up again after a few slower years.

The Boston Globe reports that after several slow years, Massachusetts golf courses are optimistic that business is on the upswing as the 2013 season gets underway. In fact, already this spring, rounds of golf played are up 10%, compared with the same time a year ago, at Boston’s two municipal courses.

Now that golf courses are again bringing in golfers – and revenue – long overdue maintenance can be done in the form of replacement golf netting, poles and lights. As golfers decide again to spend their disposable income at your golf course and driving range, give them a reason to come back, but most importantly keep them safe. Be sure your course is in tip top condition while making your golf course as safe as it can be at the same time.

As the number of rounds played in Massachusetts and Rhode Island increase, set your golf course and driving range apart from the competition, replace golf course netting, contact ElecComm Power.

Golf courses and driving range all over the Boston area are in need of replacement netting, poles and lighting. Spring is here, and the weather is finely nice enough that golfers can head outside and enjoy the green and the driving range.
 
Protect your business, abutting property and your guests with replacement golf course netting, poles and lighting.

According to an attorney who was quoted on CBS:

“If you hit a ball and that ball happens to head off and hurt somebody, you are responsible and you have a responsibility to step up,” said attorney Eric Ratinoff.

Ratinoff says while a golfer may be to blame, he doesn’t think that necessarily releases the golf course of all responsibility.

“If the golf course hasn’t at least taken reasonable measures to make sure the golf ball is either stopped with netting, whether it’s high enough or the netting is appropriate enough for the circumstances, then the golf course could be liable too,” said Ratinoff.

At ElecComm we provide installation of poles and netting for golf driving ranges and golf courses along with replacement netting and free estimates.  We use only the best materials and all of our netting is done with Redden Nets. For more information, contact ElecComm.

Spring has finally arrived in New England and the remaining snow is on its way out. This means it will soon be time for folks to start hitting driving ranges and golf courses. If your golf course or driving range needs pole or netting repair or replacement after this long winter, now is the time before the busy season kicks in.
 
ElecComm offers the best solutions in golf course netting and poles. We will give your course or driving range the space you need created from the right materials. Netting is always custom-made for each course or range to create the most cost effective, highest quality driving range netting system. We will work with you to determine the best placement of your golf course netting system based on trajectory and layout.

At each and every driving range and golf course we consider the surroundings first. With more and more residential communities abutting golf courses, safety and liability are the concerns we consider first. The need for protective golf course netting increases each year. Fairway netting and poles will protect golfers on adjacent fairways as well as the residents in the nearby communities.

By considering each golf course individually, we ensure that your course poles and netting solutions are unique to your needs. Poles and netting are an expense, but our system will last you for years because we take into consideration wind load, force, cabling, and fastening methods, all of which will play a role in the longevity of a driving range net system. If you need to install new, or retrofit your golf course, contact ElecComm.

All of February's winter storms brought a lot of snow and a lot of power outages. Unfortunately, along with overheard power lines, there comes power outages.

ElecComm Power is regularly called upon by NSTAR to help restore and repair overhead power lines following unexpected power loss as a result of accidents or weather related incidents, as well as prepare for upcoming storms.

NSTAR has taken preventive measures like replacing over head lines with tree-resistant wire and putting in remote switching capabilities to further protect the above-ground power system.

However, in new construction, condo owners, office complex developers and land developers realize that underground high voltage lines are the way of the future, ElecComm is also there to assist, design and build the power infrastructure.

Many neighborhoods throughout Massachusetts are also putting in underground utilities, because local ordinances require new subdivisions to bury lines at the expense of the developer.

ElecComm's core business focus is on the installation, removal and maintenance of overhead and underground electric/communications distribution systems.For more information on power line construction, contact ElecComm.

Another winter storm is causing power outages all over Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine. Electric companies all over New England will be scrambling to restore downed power lines as a result of high winds, snow, flooding and car accidents.

Power outages are inconvenient to say the least, but they also interrupt commerce in a time when businesses cannot afford it. NSTAR and other electric companies understand how power outages can have  trickle down effect on all aspects of New England living. This is why they trust ElecComm to help repair power infrastructure.

ElecComm storm response team is available 24/7 for both overhead and underground power outages. For more information on storm response, contact ElecComm.

It is March, it is time to start thinking about spring and your golf course netting and poles. It may be too early to golf, but it is not too early to start getting quotes on netting for you golf course.

When you are affected by storms and events that cause power outages, you want the problem fixed fast. That is why electric companies in the Northeast rely on ElecComm for assistance with storm response and repairs to the electric grid.

No one wants to wait a week to get power back in the northeast during the winter season. NSTAR and other electric companies respond to natural disasters by calling an electric line construction company with experience in overhead line repair, a company who they can rely on.

Being proactive is what helps get power restored faster during unplanned power outages caused by storms. For overhead power line repair and maintenance, contact ElecComm.

With the tens of thousands of homeowners and businesses that lost power in the weekend’s snow storm, New England electric companies sought assistance for storm response.  NSTAR called ElecComm to help with the repair of overhead power lines.

Our crews are still working to restore power for NSTAR customers. We have worked all over the cape including Hyannis, Plymouth, Kingston, Sandwich and other local areas.  As always our team is fully crossed trained and is ready for dispatch to repair damages to overhead power lines for any planned or unplanned event.

ECC provides assistance to all the major public utilities throughout the Northeast restoring power during major power outages. For more information, contact us.

Deval Patrick urges utilities to take hard look at moving utility lines underground.

Gov. Patrick used multiple appearances with the media Monday to call for utilities to review the cost to bury power lines underground, following a historic weekend snowstorm that left over 400,000 customers across the state of Massachusetts without electricity.

“I think we’re getting to a point where it would be very worthwhile for the utilities to do some hard analysis about the value of burying utilities underground,” Patrick said after touring the damage caused by the powerful storm.

Utilities have been reluctant at moving more infrastructures below ground, saying consumers would object to spending as much as $2.1 million a mile, according to one industry estimate, to bury wires for a system that’s not fail-safe.

On its website, National Grid says underground transmission lines are more expensive to install than above ground lines.

National Grid says of its approximately 200,000 miles of high voltage transmission lines, only approximately 5,000 miles are located underground.

At ElecComm, underground transmission lines is our specialty, contact us.

Across the globe, there is a delicate balance between sustained investment in essential infrastructure and a corresponding advance in socioeconomic progress. Telecommunications infrastructure and platforms have become the driver of growth in the twenty-first century.

It's now the forward-thinking key performance indicator that all economists must monitor, in addition to the GDP.

Recently a market study was done which analyzes global and regional market trends and conditions affecting telecom service providers, enterprises, subscribers, and the global networked economy.

Economic readings are worrisome nearly everywhere, but so far the impact on global telecom and enterprise technology spending is not severe.

For information on ElecComm’s ability to engineer, manage and perform the construction, splicing, testing maintenance and restoration of fiber, copper, and hybrid fiber-coax telecommunications networks, contact us.

The wind energy industry in the U.S. received good news recently. With the extension of the Production Tax Credit, which financially supports many of the country’s wind energy projects, the industry has managed to secure at least another year of dynamic growth.

Massachusetts has become one of the leaders in wind energy. While most people think only turbines are needed, underground electric cables are needed to connect the power generated by the turbines to the energy grid.

Wind farms require wind turbines and miles of underground electric cable. The wind power industry needs electric cables that span all the various voltages because wind turbines transmit power from the generators to ground-based equipment through large cables.

To ensure that your wind power project is successfully connected to the grid, contact ElecComm to install the project’s underground cabling.

Underground electrical cables distribute electricity to homes, parking lot lighting, and commercial developments. Underground high voltage cables have problems less frequently  than overhead lines, but they do degrade over time and break.

Underground high voltage cables are subject to breaks or faults. When this happens ElecComm can locate the underground cable and the break and make the repair.

Underground electrical cables are more convenient and eye appealing, but when a problem occurs only the services of an expert underground cable specialist can help. If you are a landowner, developer or construction company who needs high voltage cable repair, contact ElecComm.

Happy New Year from ElecComm Power! We would like to thank you, our customers for a wonderful 2013, and we wish you a wonderful, enlightening and prosperous New Year!

If ElecComm Power has had the pleasure of bringing or restoring power to your business, development or town, we thank you for your business and for the pleasure of working with you. If you are in need of high voltage utility lines, storm response, telecommunication networks or utility line construction we hope that you consider ElecComm Power in 2013.  

From all of us to all of you, a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year.

After SuperStorm Sandy, ElecComm, an electric line construction company, was contacted by utility companies around New England and New York to help restore power. The following is a note we received from Unitil.

Again, Thank You,

Robert G. Schoenberger

After the super storm Sandy, which took their toll on golf courses around New England and New York, ElecComm has been getting calls for golf course netting repairs. Winter does a job on golf courses, and damaged netting gets worse as winter rolls on.

Golf courses and driving ranges need safe and secure golf course netting in order to protect against property damage and personal injury.

If your golf course or driving range is in need of installation of poles and netting or is looking for a free estimate on replacement netting, contact ElecComm.  All of our golf course netting is done with Redden Nets.

When we install your golf course netting we custom fit it to your needs.

An electric line construction company from Wilmington, Mass., has been helping fix storm damage in New York City.

Crews from ElecComm worked Thursday to inspect the flooded, muck-filled utility tunnels that carry current to the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens.

Before they descended into the manholes, a worker from New York based Bancker Construction used a 3,400 gallon vacuum truck to suck up the sand that coated the underground cables.

Ed Sellman says the cleaning process helps ensure that crew members are not "working in mud like pigs." It also helps them see what they're doing.

Workers need to visually inspect as much of the underground electrical system as they can for damage before the cables are re-energized.

It's slow, painstaking work.

As of yesterday, there were still over 200,000 still without power on Long Island as a result of Hurricane Sandy.

The people in the coastal communities of Long Island and Queens, NY were among the hardest hit by Sandy. Now they are suffering new blows because of the difficulty in getting electric power restored quickly.

With a largely above-ground power network exposed to the full fury of Sandy's fierce winds and 14-foot storm surge, more than 90% of LIPA's 1.1 million customers lost their power, the biggest impact on any area power company. The ElecComm underground crews have been deployed to Long Island to help restore power.

ElecComm's core business focus is on the installation, removal and maintenance of overhead and underground electric/communications distribution systems. For information, contact ElecComm.

Northwest New Jersey is upgrading power lines. They will be upgrading the existing 230-kilovolt transmission line for about 45 miles, adding 500 kilovolts onto towers that would be as tall as 195 feet in some cases.

Older electric line infrastructure regularly needs to be updated to accommodate growing populations, new roads and buildings. Often overhead lines need to be buried, or additional lines need to be added.

Upgrades are often very unnecessary. Often this type of work needs to be done to prevent power outages. When power lines cannot bring electricity to individuals' homes because tree limbs bring down the lines to homes and business during storms, upgrades and repairs are needed.

If your town or city needs to upgrade current utility lines, contact ElecCom.

Regardless of how it happens, it does happen. Transformers blow, power goes out and transformers need to be replaced, and often lines an poles do to.

Did you hear about these events?

“Electrical line hit and a transformer blows at Mt. Lebanon High School when an excavator hit a utility line, causing a transformer to blow.”

“Power at the Alpaugh Elementary School went out after a construction accident knocked an electrical line off a utility pole causing a major grid failure and power went out in the entire area.”

ElecComm can replace and  install transformers. In the instance where you have a blown transformer, ElecComm will mount the new transformer, connect the primary and secondary conductors and maintain the same loading/phasing arrangement that existed before.

ElecComm will coordinate the grounding of the transformer as well as testing the wiring and connections for continuity and grounds.
 
If you need a transformer replaced or installed, please contact ElecComm.

With the increase in the amount of individuals renting today, rental community construction is on the rise in cities and towns throughout New England. As contractors and construction companies scramble to build more apartment homes, the electricity for these large communities needs to be tied into the existing power grid.

Foundations for the transmission structures need to erected, and transmission line wiring also needs to be completed whenever new apartment complexes or condo communities are built. New utility lines and towers prevent the overload to existing electrical infrastructure and allow the new apartment and condo communities to have adequate power without overextending the grid.

Electric line construction companies work closely with public utility companies in the construction of lines, transformers and towers.

If you are a construction company charged with building a new apartment home, condo or townhouse community in New England, contact ElecComm for utility line construction.

Summer storms can happen anywhere at any time. Several Mid Atlantic East coast states have been dramatically affected by summer storms over the weekend preceding July 4th. Several states have downed utility lines which have left homeowners and businesses without power for several days.

ElecComm provides assistance to major public utilities throughout New England restoring power during major power outages caused by storms. Our team is fully crossed trained and is ready for dispatch in preparation for any planned or unplanned power outage. Contact us.

Municipalities need to upgrade transmission lines and towers. Electric line infrastructure needs to be upgraded in order to efficiently and effectively transmit electricity from the grid to homes and businesses. New lines prevent overloads on other power lines.
 
Upgraded lines and towers are an important addition to the infrastructure of cities and towns, making them more enticing to new or expanding businesses.

Upon completion of a new power line project, the new lines will have significant benefits to electric customers in the surrounding region. New power line projects often include new substations, lines and towers that provide additional, direct improvements to the reliability of electric service for homes and businesses in that region.
