The cost of underground high voltage cable installations in Boston, MA can cost more as compared to just the overhead installation. But such cost can be offset by the numerous benefits one could enjoy once the undergrounding of power lines is done.
Given the vital role that electric power plays in our lifestyle, especially in businesses in which electric power is the lifeline, even a momentary power outage can cause a lot of inconvenience. An unannounced power outage can cut down on productivity and shut down equipment causing damages. Consider what could happen if the power outage is days long?
Weather events and natural calamities can be hard on overhead power lines whether it is a strong wind, heavy snowfall, or torrential rains. The power lines strung from electric posts are also more susceptible to damage that can be caused by car accidents. This can all be prevented when power lines are installed underground. With underground power lines, the chances of damage from the above listed events are minimal because the lines are fully protected.
Even an hour long power outage can cause economic loss as well as health, safety, and security consequences. Underground high voltage cable networks help prevent this. To find out more about underground high voltage cable installation, contact ElecComm.
