On Target Utility Crews hit the road despite dangerous conditions early Friday morning April 1st to help restore power to thousands of Maine residents. News Channel 8 WMTW was at the sight of one of On Target's many power line crew efforts. Central Maine Power reported over 60,000 customers had been left without power at the peak of the April Fools' Day Storm.

Island power restoration is slow going.  Click on the picture below to see the full story from WCSH6 in Portland, Maine.  Many of the trucks and crews highlighted are from On Target.

Central Vermont Public Service (CVPS), Public Service of New Hampshire (PSNH), Central Maine Power (CMP), Fairpoint, Comcast, Verizon, National Grid, Western Mass Electric and Time Warner are just some of the companies hit hard that On Target is helping out.

On Target locate technicians, power line and pole setting crews are working around the clock to get systems back up and running. Locate technicians are performing emergency dig safes on hundreds, possibly thousands, of utility poles in the New England area that were snapped in half due to winds reaching over 60 miles per hour. Power line and pole set crews have been working with CVPS, PSNH and CMP since mid day on Wednesday the 24th. At the peak of the outages there were over 400,000 outages at these three utilities alone!

Three full time fleet mechanics are on the road with the fleet service truck and back at the maintenance garage in Portland, Maine keeping up with all of the requests, assuring that the crews have safe working vehicles throughout the storm. Office, warehouse and Project Management personnel are covering the phones, computers, and GPS fleet system 24 hours a day to keep the communication flowing amongst the crews and customers.

Restoration services have also helped support the long winter months. Much like On Target electric power line crews, the telecommunication line crews, fiber technicians and pole set crews have been busy keeping up with the damage caused by the recent snow and ice events. On Target supports many of the fiber and copper communication system operators throughout Maine and New England. Twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, On Target is on call in the event of system interruption.

On Target transmission crews are currently working off road re-rating power transmission lines near Carrabassett Valley, Maine. The conditions are harsh and the terrain ranges from flat field areas to steep cliffs. The crews are using environmentally friendly tracked vehicles to travel to and from the work site. The vehicles used to perform the work are also track buckets and track cranes much like the one pictured above. This line rebuild will prepare the grid for future energy output from wind farms in this area of northern Maine.

On Target pole setting crews will also be in the area setting over 200 roadside distribution poles. Many of the poles will need to be set in ledge. On Target is uniquely qualified to perform this service. On Target has a large fleet of utility pole setting vehicles that include ledge trucks that assure timely completion. On Target's pole set crews have years of experience. They can set hundreds of poles for a utility project or just one at a time for a private land owner.

On Target linemen, pole setting and underground locating crews helped utilities get back on line.  The efforts lasted two weeks and is highlighted in a five page story in the January issue of Transmission & Distribution World magazine.

The picture attached is a pdf copy of a thank you card one of the linemen found in his bucket truck while working in Milford, NH.   The card says "Thank You For Fixing Our Power!  Love Erica."  These types of cards and all of the thank yous and offers of coffee from grateful customers help make the harsh conditions and long hours all worth it.
