Our Capabilities

Our approach integrates damage assessment, make‑safe actions, and priority‑load restoration. Through pre-positioned crews and equipment, we surge qualified line workers and equipment to rebuild and repair power lines, conductors, transformers, and substations, restoring customers faster.

Distributed Power & Data Centers

Our expertise includes implementing distributed power projects, including telecom & electric utility pole installations. We perform distribution upgrades, conversions, and underground/overhead work to enhance grid reliability and resiliency.

Electric Infrastructure

Our electric services span foundations to energization expertise, including overhead and underground transmission lines, replacements, substation construction, reconductoring, live‑line methods, and grid‑hardening programs.

Emergency Response & Storm Restoration

When severe weather strikes, our crews mobilize quickly, drawing on our multi‑regional network, a robust fleet, and proven logistics for storm restoration at scale. With NOAA recording 27 billion‑dollar U.S. disasters in 2024—second‑highest on record—utilities need partners ready to deploy, coordinate, and restore safely (NOAA, 2025).

Underground Infrastructure

Through both overhead (OH) and underground (UG) fiber installations, Linetec Services contributes to the expansion and modernization of essential underground infrastructure. Our work also includes environmental compliance, access planning, temporary roadways and matting, and right-of-way restoration, ensuring the safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible execution of projects.

Regional Reach & Operational Strength

From the Gulf Coast to the Mid Atlantic and Midwest, our footprint, equipment fleet, and technical bench enable rapid mobilization and continuity of electrical services. Our fleet and equipment include: manlifts, excavators, truck cranes, digger derricks, and accessories. Linetec Services also leverages Centuri’s national network, training, and quality systems to deliver scale without sacrificing local expertise.

Our Safety & Quality Promise

We lean on our zero‑incident culture and believe every incident is preventable. Leaders model safety ownership, conduct Think SAFE engagements, and integrate risk‑based planning into daily work to keep crews and communities safe. Secondly, we emphasize certifications, safety training, and performance metrics. Our integrated management system unites safety and quality frameworks to drive continuous improvement, reinforced by field audits, lessons learned, and leading indicators. Linetec Services never compromises on safety; clear rules to live by, critical rules, stop‑work authority, and peer coaching empower hazard recognition and control. Awards such as the Partners in Safety Excellence Award from Entergy highlight this commitment.

Predictive Resilience Planning

Utilities face increasing power outages due to weather volatility and evolving load patterns (DOE, 2025). Through our fully integrated design, engineering, and asset management services, we help utilities strengthen grid resilience from initial assessment through energization. Leveraging LiDAR acquisition, GIS mapping, visual circuit and pole inspections, and comprehensive data reporting, we identify and prioritize areas for improvement. Our teams design and implement targeted hardening solutions—including reconductoring programs, overhead-to-underground conversions, circuit automation, pole replacements, and vegetation management and planning—to minimize outage exposure and accelerate restoration. With turnkey construction management and post-construction audits, we ensure each resilience initiative is delivered safely, efficiently, and within budget, supporting a future-ready, dependable grid.
