Due to our experience and expertise, the Hunt Electric High Voltage Division was contracted to install 19 miles of 69kV transmission line beneath a major power transmission corridor. The installation required crossing an interstate highway and a rail line to energize a substation on the Paiute Reservation. To ensure successful completion, it was imperative that we communicated and collaborated with the utility, transportation department, and the tribe.

Our experience working in a desert climate helped us to prepare our crews to work 12-hour days seven days per week in temperatures as high as 118 degrees.

We worked closely with the Paiute tribe to identify culturally sensitive areas near the transmission line, and we created a plan to help us avoid them during the project.

We were excited to help deliver grid power to tribal facilities that had been powered by generators for the last 15 years. The project provided the reservation with a clean, affordable, practical power source for residents and businesses.
