What Is Power Line Install Service?

We provide turnkey overhead and underground power line installation and repair services to residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial property owners, with minimal disruption to your operations.

From setting new wood or steel utility poles and stringing primary/secondary conductors to installing pole-mounted transformers, weatherheads, and tree-clearing insulation guards, our skilled personnel and heavy fleet handle utility tasks that standard electrical contractors are not equipped to perform.

How Does Pole & Line Installation Work?

  1. STEP 01We assess your property's load requirements, terrain, and distance from the BC Hydro grid.
  2. STEP 02We engineer and design the distribution system, including both overhead pole lines and underground duct banks.
  3. STEP 03We supply, augur, set, and frame the utility poles and install all primary and secondary conductors.
  4. STEP 04We facilitate the final service connections and coordination between your property and the BC Hydro grid.
  5. STEP 05We provide ongoing maintenance by offering a designated Field Service Representative (FSR) for private HV systems.
  6. STEP 06We perform bi-yearly preventative line inspections to stop storm or vegetation emergencies before they happen.

Pole Replacement & Repairs

Every day we work to keep the power flowing for our customers by replacing and repairing weathered, rot-damaged, or storm-struck power poles. Work takes place year-round across all BC weather conditions, including harsh winter ice and windstorms.

Replacing a utility pole entails safely isolating or supporting live conductors, detaching telecom and electrical attachments, removing the compromised pole, augering a precision hole, setting and plumbing the new treated pole, and transferring all cables and hardware back to code.

TECHNICAL BRIEFING & FAQ

Power Line Installations: Frequently Asked Questions

01 //How soon can you be on site?

We are available 24 hours a day for emergency pole replacements and can schedule new installations and site assessments promptly across the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley, and Sea-to-Sky.

02 //Why does BC Hydro not take care of private property poles?

BC Hydro's maintenance responsibility typically ends at the property line or after the first 30 metres onto a private driveway/service corridor. Any poles, transformers, and overhead lines beyond that point are customer-owned infrastructure, which is why Metro Power is here to install, inspect, and repair them.
