HVA partnered with American Electric Power (AEP) to execute the critical Two Ridge to Wintersville 69kV Structure Replacement Project in Jefferson County, Ohio. This proactive infrastructure modernization initiative addressed end-of-life wooden transmission poles that posed reliability risks to the local power grid. Our expert teams strategically replaced all eight deteriorating structures with low-maintenance steel poles designed to withstand extreme weather conditions and significantly reduce long-term operational costs. The project was completed with zero safety incidents, reflecting our unwavering commitment to precision workmanship and safety-first culture. This successful upgrade ensures decades of reliable electrical service for residents and businesses throughout the region while minimizing future maintenance disruptions. The modernized transmission line now provides enhanced grid stability and resilience, supporting the community’s growing energy needs with improved safety and efficiency.
