Power Line Equipment Built for the Toughest Jobs
At D and K Electrical Construction, we take pride in bringing power where it’s needed most. And with all of our experience, we’ve built a reputation for high-quality craftsmanship, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to getting the job done right. Our fleet of specialized power line equipment allows us to tackle any electrical infrastructure project, from rural agricultural sites to fast-growing urban developments.
Additionally, building and maintaining power lines requires a combination of expertise and the right tools — and we bring both to every project. Whether it’s setting poles in hard-packed soil, working through California’s fire-prone landscapes, or navigating underground installations, our advanced fleet of digger derricks, bucket trucks, backhoes, rope rigs, underground tuggers, hydro excavators, and ensures we can handle the job efficiently and safely.
Digger Derricks – Setting Poles with Precision
When it comes to installing and maintaining power poles, digger derricks are the backbone of our operations. These versatile machines drill deep into the toughest terrain, whether it’s the compacted dirt of the valley farmlands or the rocky foothills leading toward the Sierra National Forest.
With powerful augers and lifting capabilities, our digger derricks make it possible to:
- Drill precise holes for utility poles in agricultural, rural, and urban settings
- Lift and position heavy poles with accuracy
- Work efficiently in challenging soil conditions, from dense clay to sandy valley terrain
Digger derricks allow us to install, repair, and replace power lines efficiently, reducing downtime for homes, businesses, and farms.
Bucket Trucks – Reaching New Heights
Whether we’re upgrading overhead power lines with new tree wire or working on a power restoration project after a storm, our bucket trucks give our crew the height and stability needed for safe and effective repairs.
Our fleet of bucket trucks provides:
- Safe elevated access to poles, transformers, and electrical lines
- Versatility for working in both rural and urban settings
- Quick deployment for emergency repairs, routine maintenance, and installations
Our nation’s weather can be harsh, with triple-digit summer temperatures and snow blizzards in the winter. Having reliable bucket trucks means we can work safely and efficiently year-round, minimizing disruptions to power service.
Cranes allow us to lift heavy transformers, poles, and power line components into place with pinpoint precision.
Helicopters are essential for projects in areas without road access, helping transport materials and crew to remote locations.
This specialized equipment ensures that we can build and maintain power infrastructure no matter the location, keeping homes, businesses, and agricultural operations running smoothly.
Rope Rigs – Essential for Tensioning and Support
In power line construction, rope rigs play a critical role in pulling and tensioning cables over long distances. Whether we’re working along Avenue 12 near Madera Ranchos or stringing new lines along Highway 99, these systems allow us to:
- Pull conductors across rough terrain
- Safely tension lines without overloading them
- Maintain the structural integrity of power line installations
Underground Tuggers – Power Beneath the Surface
Not all power lines are overhead. In growing areas like Riverstone and Tesoro Viejo, underground power distribution is increasingly common. Our underground tuggers are designed to:
- Pull heavy-duty cables through underground conduits
- Navigate challenging soil conditions, including dry, compacted Central Valley earth
- Ensure safe, damage-free installation in residential and commercial areas
This equipment is crucial for new developments, road expansions, and areas requiring buried electrical infrastructure, ensuring power is delivered safely and efficiently beneath the surface.
Backhoes – Digging Deep for Reliable Installations
Our backhoes are essential for trenching, pole setting, and underground electrical work. Whether we’re working in open farmland, busy roadways, or industrial zones, our backhoes allow us to:
- Excavate trenches for underground power cables
- Prepare sites for power pole installation
- Remove obstacles quickly and efficiently
Madera’s unique combination of hard-packed soils and agricultural land means having the right digging equipment is key to staying on schedule and ensuring long-lasting power solutions.
