Aging infrastructure is a critical issue for the power industry, as utilities work to fill our modern demand for power on equipment built more than a century ago. The United Illuminating Company (UI) ran into this issue near New Haven, Connecticut, when it faced the daunting task of replacing existing transmission line conductors that were located on 100-year-old lattice towers that had been built on a historic railroad bridge. UI turned to Black & Veatch for help, hiring the company as full EPC contractor.
