| 15 miles of new electrical line has been installed on this project so far!

“The Poettker team and our partners continue to make strong progress on this Illinois transmission line project. Civil crews are advancing steadily on the drilled concrete pier foundations, with multiple locations now fully drilled, reinforced, and poured keeping us right on schedule.

"Line crews are also maintaining great momentum as they set new steel monopole structures, pull in conductor, and complete clipping operations. This transmission line rebuild is taking shape more each day, supported by excellent coordination and a strong commitment to safety across all teams. Every completed milestone brings us closer to energizing the line and delivering reliable power to the region.” — Jacob Kampwerth, Project Manager

| On National Technology Day we'd like to pay tribute to one of our lesser-known technologies, a remote-controlled compaction machine.

The Poettker Industrial team and partners are gauging the concrete prior to placing a new breaker foundation, installing waterstop and reinforcing steel for a new flood wall, and using the machine to safely compact and backfill the ground next to the flood wall.

| Across our solar fields, transmission lines, and substation sites, Poettker Industrial teams and partners took time this week to share a meal and recognize Construction Safety Week.

Whether we’re building critical infrastructure or powering communities, safety remains the foundation of everything we do. These lunches were a great reminder that looking out for one another — on every site, every day — is what keeps our projects and our people moving forward.
