Utility Service Agency in Action at GRESCO Fall Fest 2024

It was our great pleasure to have attended the 18th annual GRESCO Fall Fest in Florida this past week. We were proud to have brought 8 of our manufacturers with us to demonstrate their products and services in a face-to-face setting. Take a look at some of our photos from the event, and reach out if you’re curious about any of the manufacturers they feature!

Hurricane Helene & High Speed Tower Repair

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, utility manufacturers have been under immense pressure to provide parts and resources for repair efforts all across the east coast. Check out this account of one such manufacturer, Wilson Iron Works, and their effort (alongside some folks here at USA) to deliver critical steel parts for transmission tower repair in Western NC in just under 48 hours total!

Meyer Poles Produce Progress in South Carolina

Power poles in progress!

Take a look at these photos of the local utilities crew of South Carolina replacing damaged power poles—

These poles were downed during the torrential storms of Hurricane Helene last week, and both the linemen and manufacturer Meyer Utility Structures have been hard at work swapping them out for fresh ones. Through their combined efforts, the affected communities' infrastructures in South Carolina are one step closer to being rebuilt!

Asheville Strong: USA helping to feed Duke Energy crews

Western NC was hit hard by Hurricane Helene, especially so in Asheville. Scores of linemen and crew from Duke Energy are currently helping to rebuild key infrastructure in the areas most effected.

To help support their efforts, today some of our folks from USA are out in Asheville to serve lunch and dinner to those very workers (and any first responders who happen to be in the area!)

Utility Service Agency is proud to support these hard-working crew as they serve our beloved home state of NC!
