i realize this is an older video but i still love it. i wish i could sit and watch them all day. i am an old lineman, now disabled and sure enough old.....................g
I love the videos, just enjoy seeing how other companies do certain things and man I’m not a fan of how they tied in on that new pole. Better ties=stronger line
Jim, I love your videos. Thanks so much for the content. I know it is not without effort. Are there any other channels you would recommend that share lineman/electrical work videos? Again, thanks for your work.
In Poland 95% of poles is steel. I mean I saw some wooden poles, for 220V stuff in 90s. (The poles were from about 1975). But even that is not common anymore.
In the US, would it be typical to co-ordinate with the communications companies to transfer those comms lines over to the new pole at some point, or will the stubbed wooden pole be left?
The telcom companies would ideally move them. They are notified. In reality though they get left there until the telecom lines are damaged or replaced. Then, they might be moved to the new pole and no one will come dig up the old pole. The big telecoms don't give a shit.
@@TheWittyGeek Some power companies do better than others notifying telecoms to transfer. And some telecoms do better than others transferring. Most of the issues involve poor communication all around. IMO power should notify and give a set amount of time to get off the old pole and then start fining those who don't get it done. Most of the time power notifies and never follows up to see insure it got done. Without accountability for everyone, no one gives a zhit.
this a disaster waiting to happen and fiberglass is an conducted so that's not good bad idea. all of that new pole is a bad idea they no better damit risking lives pisses me off.

I love this "look in other direction" trick at 5:37. Good practice.

Here in Brazil, we use wooden poles such as a, aroeira and eucalyptus. Because of deforestation now we only use concrete!

Wow, that tie job is called "job security"
Exactly 😂🤣
I really liked it when they drill through the cable tv lines when they install a new pole.
Aqui no Brasil, usamos pólos de madeira como a, aroeira e eucalipto. Por causa do desmatamento, agora só usamos concreto!
Aqi no Brasil usamos o poste de fibras
Muito bom
This was before Hurricane Irma slamming into Florida.

TheChipmunk2008 communication companies are notified and transfered to new pole.

They finally moved some on a reconduct near me after multiple months. It happened though.
Moving the capacitor bank, fused cutouts, surge arrestors to the new concrete distribution pole and lines.
No sleeves?
Where are his sleeves?
why above wires, it worked without dielectric gloves?
Some one needs to learn proper tie in
Is it energized?
true
No they shut the entire town down 😛
I am from Russia, how can I connect with you? Are you in Facebook?
