Distributed Power, Renewable & Industrial
Linetec delivers turnkey distributed power solutions— telecom & electric utility pole installations. Although the U.S. has a cumulative renewable energy capacity of 430GW, more expansion is needed to achieve net zero (BloombergNEF, 2024). We are helping utilities capture this opportunity.

Emergency Response & Storm Restoration
Extreme weather is the new normal, and utilities and municipalities need partners who can mobilize quickly. Linetec’s emergency response maintains real-time visibility of crews and equipment across the Mid-Atlantic and Gulf Coast regions, allowing deployment within hours. We can immediately mobilize specialized crews and equipment to integrate rapid assessment with complete storm restoration. Linetec has participated in multiple storm response efforts, such as Hurricane Laura, which is a testament to our fast response ethos.

Our Approach
- Plan & Survey: We obtain all necessary regulatory permits before project commencement.
- Mobilize & Install: Crews mobilize our specialized equipment along with certified welders, linemen, and operators to self-perform the work, supported by either union or open-shop labor to match regional needs.
- Test & Commission: Project construction and management, conducting relocations, and performing inspections help validate asset integrity before commissioning.
- Restore: We restore sites to their original or improved condition through right-of-way access construction including SWPPP compliance and access matting.
- Maintain: Post construction, our highly-experienced crews work tirelessly and safely to repair electric systems, replace damaged equipment, and restore power as quickly as possible.
