Glad we have fearless workers like you to keep the power flowing. So many do not realize what it takes to keep the power to their homes and businesses. Thanks.

22 yrs. ago I did a job like this on 90 FT. Wooden poles. Switch yard just outside Thermal Plant. All spur work. I was 50 yrs. old. hahahahaha...! Next stop..........RETIREMENT. 1195 CM Wire. Lo . #1928

Outstanding job gentlemen !! RESPECT from IBEW L.U. #41

Phenomenal !!!!

That pilot is amazing! Those Linemen are amazing. I think I'd prefer getting to the top of those poles via helicopter rather than climb, though the ride has got to be cold.

allahu bless you care and health for work I am Indian Lineman Navas

I worked on a helicopter crew back in 2015. Made a lot of money

Other than falls, what are the dangers to this work considering the cables aren’t energized?

I have a friend who is in an apprenticeship program like this one. Huge balls. Question: Why do insulators need to be replaced? I mean, there are no moving parts . . .

Overtime they fail. If they fail then the electricity can energize the structure and will cause a dead short. 1 it’s dangerous and 2 the power stops working.

Well the beefier set up is going to over load the super structures , and them they are going to fail with a strong wind or earthquake,lol nice thanks BigAl California

3-4 guys on a half of a Fiberglas ladder is a deal breaker for me. That thing is bowing like all hell-nope-they need a better apparatus for that.

I’d imagine it is beyond rated for the load and is tested/inspected everyday before use. They’re also tied off. Is it sketchy yes but the second you start second guessing shit is when you start shaking and messing things up. A big factor is to trust your equipment. Otherwise you’re in the wrong industry..
