Our Team
We operate a highly trained and fully mechanised staff of management and , specialising in the clearance of overhead powerlines. The degree of training and supervision received by our staff allows us to carry out clearance work live, unlike the majority of utilities maintenance companies, facilitating a minimum of supply disruption to your customers.
Where dead work is required, we have in-house senior authorised personnel , with an exceptional knowledge of the network, ensuring supply disruption is reduced to an absolute minimum. Most of our clearance work is carried out from all terrain vehicles, mostly Unimogs, mounted with telescopic access platforms.
In association with the use of insulated tools, we have ensured the safest possible working environment for our clearance operatives and we boast a safety record of which we are justifiably proud. The combination of equipment and expertise we possess allows access and work to be carried out in the most challenging of environments, which means the resilience of the network is maintained across the board.
When the unforeseen occurs and we experience freak weather conditions causing faults, we are able to respond and mobilise at great speed to resolve any issues which may arise.
Essentially, we offer complete management solutions to all vegetation-related network resilience problems.All tree cutting operatives are trained to the standards necessary to carry out the work, these include:
- Aerial access platform operation
- Woodchipper operation
- Chainsaw qualifications NPTC UA Unit 1, 2.1, 2.2
- Tree top rescue and first aid
- Lighting and guarding to comply with NRSWA
- Competence in arboricultural works within the proximity zone of overhead lines
