Columbus Indiana Power Pole Replacement March 24th 2023 

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.

Very nice work sir

Nice work Indiana power Curtis Harlan

This confusing energy distribution system, which is over 100 years old, here in Portugal has been replaced by new insulated cables and you no longer see these wires all exposed to the weather.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.

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.

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.

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 !

Not gonna Monday morning qb, but a couple of interesting tidbits. Interesting how different places use different methods.

Работы выполняются все под напряжением

Timelapse?

What's a 'handline'...?

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.
