A standard 40-foot wooden distribution pole typically is expected to last more than 50 years. The most common utility pole is made from a Southern Yellow Pine tree and costs about $400. All wooden poles throughout the 31-county Penelec service territory are inspected on a 12-year cycle. Inspections began in January and continue through summer, with the remaining pole replacements and repairs scheduled to be completed during the fall.
To help enhance the reliability of its system, Penelec expects to replace or repair nearly 2,300 wooden utility poles this year as part of the company’s annual inspection program. The poles would stretch about 28 miles if laid end to end.
FirstEnergy expects to invest about $135 million in 2017 on distribution and transmission infrastructure projects to help enhance service reliability for its customers in Potomac Edison’s service area in western Maryland and the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia.
Pictured: Potomac Edison crews install cross arms and other equipment to one of 300 utility poles for a new line in Hardy County, West Virginia. The new line is part of a $5 million project designed to improve electric service reliability for about 2,200 customers in and around the communities of Baker and Mathias and is on track to be completed later this year.

During 2015, work completed by JCP&L included 94 circuit upgrades, a new transmission line from a substation in North Branch to a substation in Lebanon, and the expansion of a substation and new transformer installation in West Amwell. The company also successfully reinstituted its Power Systems Institute Program and was recognized as “Business Leadership of the Year Honoree” by the New Jersey Conference of Mayors.
Cost effective helicopter patrols have been completed on more than 757 miles of transmission lines located in JCP&L's service area.
Met-Ed’s 2016 Long-Term Infrastructure Improvement Plan included replacing more than 1,600 porcelain protective switches on poles and wires with new polymer devices. The switches – known as “cutouts” – automatically open up when a system irregularity is detected, serving to protect the electrical equipment and limit the number of customers affected by an outage.
New Switches, as pictured attached to these utility poles, are part of circuit upgrade work that has been completed.
The new substation project included using precast concrete foundations, a large transformer, switching gear, and circuit breakers to enhance service reliability for more than 28,000 Ohio Edison customers in the area.
Met-Ed is completing work on approximately $7.5 million of electric system projects as part of its 2016 Long-Term Infrastructure Improvement Plan to reduce the number and duration of service interruptions experienced by the company’s 560,000 customers. The work included installing new poles, cross arms, wire, and other equipment as needed.

In addition, radio-controlled switches were installed on some Met-Ed electric circuits. These devices can be operated remotely from the company dispatch center, allowing operators to restore power more quickly and efficiently than dispatching a crew to investigate.
Eversource and National Grid partnered on this project which included the installation of a new 345-kilovolt (kV) transmission line along 75 miles of existing rights-of-way between Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. This new structure stands on a right-of-way in Lebanon, CT.
Last weekend the motorcycle section of the Vintage Car Club of NZ ran a reliability trial and invited the Canterbury Classic Trials group to put on a demonstration and also take part in their event. The trials area also attracted members from the Vintage Club on suitable machines who tried the obstacles. These were largely man-made and included pallets (Thanks Palletmakers in ChCh), fence posts, tyres, a bank, tree stump, and logs. Due to the range of machines lined up for the reliability trial these sections were easier and included tight turns, tree roots, and banks. As well as trials bikes other contenders included trail bikes, 1970’s Vespa and Honda scooters, 1960's Royal Enfield and BMW motorcycles , 1937 Ariel, 1927 AJS, 1924 Triumph, as well as a Velosolex. A laid back and fun day mixing two groups both interested in classic motorcycles. Enjoy the photos.
I wanted to refuel my car at the gas station. When I wanted to use my card to pay, I was greeted by this nice error message: "The exception unknown software exception (0x0eedfade) occurred in the application at location 0x77e73887."
You can see another picture of the terminal (both taken with my mobile phone, sorry for the poor quality) or read my comments about this stupid error message in my blog.

Thermovision cameras capture infrared images of distribution lines exiting substations and where fuses are located on poles. The images are downloaded to a computer and reviewed. The infrared technology shows heat on a color scale, with brighter or “hot spots” indicating potential problems. As a result of the inspections, JCP&L identified and corrected nearly 100 potential problems.

NYC Transit Crews fanned out along segments of 14 subway lines this past weekend to perform heavy duty maintenance and upgrades to signals, stations, tracks and other subway components. This work helps to improve service by increasing the reliability of the subway infrastructure.
Along the Queens Blvd E F M R corridor, crews replaced track and other components that were past their useful life. Among those components were the installation of new track tie blocks with eco-friendly EKKI Hilti ties. Crews also installed Resilient Faster Track Plates which help absorb and disperse the load of the train. These track enhancements will make for a smoother, more reliable ride along the corridor.
This work is funded by the MTA’s Capital Program which helps prioritize the investments that will be essential to renew, enhance, and expand the system to meet the changing needs of the region, its economy, and its residents.
During current 2010-2014 Capital Program we’ve bought new subway cars, new commuter railroad cars, new local buses, and new express buses. We installed more modern signals for faster and better rides. We’re building new rail lines and connections that will serve New York for generations to come. And after Superstorm Sandy ravaged our network, we committed nearly $1 billion to fix the damage and fortify against future storms. With a fully-funded 2015-2019 Capital Program, we’ll continue making our system more resilient against big storms. We’ll bring Positive Train Control—a state-of-the-art signal system—to Metro-North and the LIRR. We’ll continue introducing new routes for Select Bus Service, which uses off-board fare collection, low-floor, high capacity buses, and dedicated bus lanes to cut travel times by nearly 20 percent. We’ll replace 86 miles of subway track with safer, smoother track. And we’ll complete hundreds of similar projects that keep our customers safe and on time. These types of projects may not be glamorous, but together with the normal replacement of our trains and buses, they are the key to moving 8.7 million people every day, safely and reliably.
