Lowest Liability Case Study
SUMMARY
As one of the largest utilities in North America, Southern California Edison (SCE) developed a “Circuit of the Future” to showcase the most innovative and reliable grid technology.
PROBLEM
SCE needed a utility pole with increased reliability to carry the advanced grid system, as well as efficiencies in transportation and installation to reduce customer outage time. The reduction of ongoing maintenance was also a key objective.
RS POLE SOLUTION
Utilizing cutting edge materials and an innovative modular design, high-performance RS poles brought significant value to the SCE project, including:
- Enhanced reliability that minimized maintenance.
- Reduced customer outage time.
- Lower transportation and installation costs.
- Long life cycle minimizes future replacement costs and disruptions.
“We selected the RS product because it is lighter and therefor can be installed much faster, reducing customer outage time. And the fact that these innovative poles are built in segments means they are easier for our crews to move to work sites.”
