PG&E Places Order for TWO Linetracs

Having observed Linetrac in action on numerous T&D Projects on the West Coast, PG&E has become well versed in the versatility and capabilities of Linetrac. So much so that Linetrac has just accepted an order to furnish two new Linetracs to PG&E in 2011. The first unit is slated for delivery to PG&E in April with the second unit to follow shortly thereafter.

Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)

While in Louisville, we were asked by Tennessee Valley Authority to perform a demo of Linetrac on an in-field pole change that TVA anticipated would take multiple days to complete, and the job would require construction of an earthen platform at the site.

With Linetrac on the project, the job took four hours from start to finish and the need for a platform was eliminated. Over 20 observers representing a number of utility companies gave nothing but positive feedback regarding Linetrac’s versatility, overall capability, and due to its low-ground pressure—environmental friendliness.

TVA went on the purchase the 830G used for the demo and to date has been working that equipment since November 12, 2007. TVA representatives indicate that they are extremely satisfied with the 830G.

If all goes as planned, we will complete an 824G model by mid-February. Please call for more details. If you want to know more about the success of Linetrac for TVA, feel free to contact one of the TVA representatives below:
