InfraSource crews completed a vital infrastructure restoration project on a Railroad Bridge. The team was tasked with replacing a failed conductor that maintained the electrical tie between two substations.
Due to the bridge’s active rail traffic and strategic location, the project required close coordination with railroad personnel. Crews used rail-certified equipment and flagging support to safely access and work on the bridge.
Specialized equipment, including an Altec 55MH and an Altec AT48 outfitted with rail gear, allowed the team to perform elevated work and conductor handling directly on the bridge structure.
Protective measures were implemented to safeguard the river environment and ensure crew safety during operations near active rail lines. The successful restoration of the electrical tie-point improved system reliability and load balancing across the region.
