Sun, 27 Dec 2009 00:00:00 EST

Global Environmental Solution’s affiliated company PJ/GES LLC was selected by Cianbro to perform the distribution of materials for the new 345 kV power line project. The project, beginning in July 2009, originated at the Vermont Yankee power plant in Vernon, Vermont and finished at the Cavendish, Vermont substation. Working with Cianbro on the third consecutive power line project showed GES’ commitment to the Maine based contractor (Cianbro). This was a unique opportunity for GES to participate in given the unique scope and complexity of the project. Transportation of the 125’ transmission poles weighing nearly 14,000 lbs per pole proved challenging for the PJ/GES LLC management team. Management overcame the challenges with the purchase of a specialty 91’ remote controlled steerable trailer and a 2009 Log-Lift tractor mounted knuckle boom was mobilized to safely handle the oversize poles. Off road equipment including two Timber-Pro forwarders offered ROW options. PJ/GES LLC is expected to finish staging over 900 transmission poles at the installation location on the rolling Southern Loop ROW in late January.
