Northern Lights plans to replace approximately 50 existing wooden utility poles with ductile iron poles. A crew will remove the wooden poles while the power line remains energized, new poles will then be set in the existing locations which will require the use of a bucket truck, pole truck, and auger truck. In addition to the pole replacement, they will also install 225 Gridware Gridscope devices which will be mounted on exisiting utility poles along approximately 14 miles of line segments.
