Line Condition Inspection

Maintenance activities are critical to the safe and reliable operation of an Electrical Distribution System as well as maximizing the useful life of the equipment installed. This work is often delayed or overlooked due to the hectic nature of the utility industry and the availability of qualified resources. Utilitra can take this burden from you and manage it through all phases. We will inspect the poles for decay and infestation, identify damaged or failing equipment and determine a plan for repair. This will enable the customer to optimize the work of their costly construction crews.

Line Safety Compliance

We provide you with the support of experienced engineers and technicians well-versed in the National Electric Safety Code. Our team is experienced in providing inspection and analysis to determine if your facilities are code compliant. As needed, we can then design and implement modifications to meet and exceed code guidelines.

System Performance and Operation

Utilitra will help you improve the reliability of your electrical system. Our staff works with you to review historical system performance, outage, and load details. We will analyze this information based on your guidelines and develop a prioritized plan for improvement. This could include facility upgrades, system reinforcement, replacement of aged equipment, grid automation, and circuit protection device installation and coordination.

Utility Customer Service Requests

Utilitra serves as a representative of public utility companies to manage requests directly from their customers. These range in complexity from a simple home service connection to large commercial or multi-resident facilities. We work with the customer and their design/construction partners to identify their needs. Our team interprets the applicable utility standards as well as any national or local code requirements. We communicate the customer’s responsibilities to ensure they take appropriate action as their project progresses. We then complete the necessary design and serve as the customer’s advocate throughout the work process until construction completion.
