Climbing is a necessary skill , but its so much faster framing poles with two buckets. Save them legs for the areas you really have to climb. Ive done enough baker board work and all around construction to know it is part of the job , but if i can get a bucket to it or a crane basket i know how much faster i am .
It might be a few years late but, often here in the US in areas that don't have high corrosion they will use a steel called CORTEN steel or Weathering Steel that creates its own protective layer as it ages. I am no expert in identifying it new if that is what they crossarms are made out off but I would assume they are. In places on the coast where there is more corrosion the steel poles will almost always be galvanized.
There's always gonna be a bitch....with that pencil or a big cock sucker that can talk shit. Good job guys I work for ibew local 66 and my much respect for y'all guys. We're all the fucking same.. Keeping our bills paid, having big Chevy's smoking and drinking beer that's how we all fucking do it! Lol
Hello Please can I working with you are in tower design and assembly construction in any where Thank you are always My name is Ali from Iraq( mech. En).
Aside from the modern machinary used, I feel like this technique, and this type of structure its self, has barely changed in over a century! But then if it works, why fix it?
Lol. "The supervisor pulling up in his bucket". There were 2 90 foot poles to climb. The foreman told me "that's your pole, I can get the bucket halfway up the other pole so that's my pole". Hey, he earned it. The bottom of those fucking poles were big as a fucking tree. I managed to somehow climb 30 foot without a belt around it. My lats started giving out and I realized how big around that pole was when I went to safety off. I probably looked funny holding my ass away from the pole with my head up against it. There were no bucksqueezes back then, just a straight old school safety. They came out with those new safeties where you have to push in on one side to make the clip release. I hated it. I didn't and wouldn't use it. I liked the old one, just slap it against the d ring and it clips. I was climbing and had a j lasher get caught on the safety latch and I fought 60 pounds or so of lasher trying to get it out of the safety clip. I never made it to powerlinework. I had 11 grand saved for school and the good ole "God" threw a curveball at me and I got a skin irritation on my legs. It caused me to not sleep for weeks at a time and I went apeshit and lost the money. I never forget I could be doing powerline work if that didn't happen. It could have been the insulation from ductwork and insulation under houses because I did shitwork ductwork for 5 years. Dermatologist said it wasn't bugs, she didn't know what it was. I think she lied. Nonetheless I get to dream of doing linework and it sucks soooo bad. Guys who are in it ought thank God they get to do it. Once you do linework every other job sucks dong. Communications pays jack shit, they payed 7 cents a foot to run support strand. So we'd have to run at least 5 thousand feet a day (2 spools) to make money. I got 10 bucks an hour to climb 40, 50, 70, 90 foot poles. Fall from there and you won't do this work anymore.

Big Time props to y’all pole climbers! 👍🏼
Much respect to you people who works on this.. The videos you've created were very helpful. But it shows less views than AGT. Come on people..
Great Job Wilson Const.

wooden supports? is it america? definitely not a cube? what kind of insanity and the last century ?????
Sigh. And wooden railroad ties. There were numerous studies done to show it's economic and provides expected longevity.
