An important job of Quality Electric in Scranton is installing telephone (or utility) poles.

If the job is not done properly, it could cause the pole to fall or lean, causing damage to property or injury. Following are important factors in performing the highest quality telephone pole installations Scranton PA deserves.
Digging and Backfilling
Electricians must follow industry standards in preparing and backfilling installation holes. Terrain issues are one of the most serious threats in this process. Rock ledges, large debris, and other obstructions must be carefully removed. If these obstacles are ignored, then a hole could either be too shallow or cause the pole to lean.
Installation of Power Lines
This is process involves precision that includes specific tension and other measurements. A highly skilled electrician follows strict procedures to ensure power lines are attached properly to the pole. The lines and pole must be able to withstand a minimum degree of stress caused by weather and other factors.
Installation Time
An average telephone pole takes up to 3 hours to install. However, obstructions may increase this time. It’s important to give a pole installation project ample time so the job is done to industry standards.
