Tornados, thunderstorms, hurricanes, and ice storms can wreak havoc and leave damage in their wake on transmission lines, substations, and distribution lines. Think Power Solutions' storm assessment service is an offering that includes resources that are mobilized to supplement restoration efforts with experienced personnel equipped with real time reporting technology tools.
Storm assessment services include:
- Initial Outage Investigations: The initial investigation allows for the naming of the geography and the sites affected after a storm.
- Preliminary Damage Assessments: These include collecting information about known hazards of work area, vicinity map with access points, drone footage for evaluation, a listing of affected roadways, transmission and distribution lines, and initial notations of any structural damage.
- Detailed Damage Assessments: These include in-depth foundation, hardware, equipment, and structure damage evaluations.
- Restoration Assessments: Information about material estimates, required restoration materials such as mats, construction entrances, pipeline crossings, culverts and gates, vegetation concerns, and restoration-level inspections are also supplied during the construction phase.
- Construction Oversight and Inspections: Qualified and supervised material coordinators, drone operators, substation, distribution, and line construction oversight personnel.
