RE: A Day With A Lineman #38 ~ Road Grader Meets Pole & Lightning Strikes

in WorkLifelast year

That's very careless of the county boys!! Did they not see the massive pole and dug straight into it??! Good thing you guys sorted it out so quick.

I've never seen cables criss cross like this before, is that quite common in the States?

Sort:  

I talked to the guy and he was busy watching his blade and the front tires got hung up on it and tore it down.

They do quite a bit. Mainly the transmission lines cross over the smaller distribution lines. Sometimes other companies distribution line cross each other or are even on the same pole.
