Many power companies and the infrastructure that delivers electricity needs updating and upgrading. The Rhode Island Reliability Project is one of these projects. Nearly 750 power line poles have been installed thus far and National Grid is calling this the half-way point in the construction schedule of the Rhode Island Reliability Project. This project will strengthen the reliability of Rhode Island's power grid by increasing its capacity and allowing National Grid the flexibility to deliver electricity where it's needed when usage is at its highest.

The project includes the reconstruction of existing transmission lines and the addition of a new transmission line within an existing 21-mile corridor. More than 300 miles of power lines and nearly 750 new poles are being installed along with the installation of new equipment at substations in Rhode Island.

Transmission lines carry electricity from power plants to local distribution systems where the voltage levels are reduced in stages to provide electricity to homes and businesses. The new transmission line will enable more electricity to flow into the state as needed to meet customers' needs.

Your customers depend on your ability to deliver electricity to them every minute of every day. For electric line construction or when you need to improve the performance and reliability of the regional electric transmission system, contact ElecComm.

Excerpts from Read Media

With the increased interest in wind energy, states have been experimenting with wind power. Massachusetts also offers incentives to companies willing to invest in wind energy. Therefore Massachusetts has become one of the leaders in wind energy.

But turbines are not all that is needed for a wind farm. Those the turbines are what the public sees, less visible are the underground electric cables, which will connect the power generated by the turbines to the energy grid.

Electric Cables span the wind power industry all at various voltages. Wind turbines transmit power from their generators to ground-based equipment through large cables capable of handling many Amps.

To meet the energy needs of the communities they serve, wind farms require wind turbines and miles of underground medium, high, and low voltage cable.

Are you in the wind power industry? To ensure that the project is successfully connected to the grid, locally-source the installation. Contact ElecComm to install the project’s underground cabling.

ElecComm splice crews commenced fiber splicing on the Open Cape Project. Crews are installing fiber optic cable ends into Coyote splice enclosures. The cable ends will be butt spliced together in order to complete the main run or backbone cable for the project. Each splice location needs to have a 144 fiber strands fusion spliced together. Once the backbone is complete, work will begin on laterals – connecting municipal buildings, businesses , and communication hubs.

ElecComm was awarded the Open Cape Project in 2011 and since then has installed 50 miles of ADSS fiber optic cable. The backbone will run from Brockton Mass to Provincetown and the other run will go from Providence, Rhode Island to Provincetown, Massachusetts. Once the backbone is installed Open Cape will install lateral cables that will run into customer space to provide them with service.

ElecComm was also awarded a Fiber to the tower project for Lightower. This project encompasses all ADSS fiber being placed in the power space on the utility poles. ElecComm performs many tasks such as pole transfers, rebuilds, plant extensions, fusion splicing, mass fusion splicing and 24 hour restoration response for Utility companies.

ElecComm crews mobilized to the City of Boston to assist NStar with the restoration of power and have worked around the clock. There are still 4000 without power.

ElecComm responded to the NSTAR power outage with several crews and helped to restore power to the City of Boston. ElecComm crews ran 13,000 Volt lines along Stuart St. and spliced cable. They also ran cable in the Marriott downtown. ElecComm was ready and dispatched to various locations in the City of Boston.

Below is the original article from Boston.com:

BOSTON — About 4,000 customers remain without power a day and a half after a smoky electrical transformer fire in Boston's Back Bay area knocked out electricity to about 21,000.

NStar crews worked through the night into Thursday morning.

NStar said the goal is to get everyone back online by about noon Thursday.

The utility installed temporary cables and dozens of generators to bring back power until permanent repairs can be made, but the extensive work was taking longer than first expected.

There were still traffic restrictions, but no problems were reported. The Massachusetts Turnpike's Exit 22 ramps to Copley Square and Prudential Center were closed to allow for the electrical work.

All subway stations in the area reopened Wednesday afternoon.

FIBER ROLLING: ElecComm's Angel DeJesus (center) attaches an orange winch line to the inaugural spool of the OpenCape Network fiber optic cabling this week in Brockton, MA, while Christian DeJesus (left) and Bob Mcgyvers (right) help ready the 9000-foot long cable.

The winch line pulls the fiber to the top of utility poles along the network's route. This first two-mile segment marks the start of the regional network's construction, which is funded by federal BTOP and state broadband funds. CapeNet, which is coordinating the build, said the planned 350 miles of fiber will provide core fiber optic infrastructure on Cape Cod and across large portions of the south coast and Plymouth areas. The company expects to complete construction within 10 months.
