The Village of Lindenhurst initiated a major roadway improvement program requiring the relocation, reinforcement, and underground adjustment of existing 12kV electric distribution infrastructure along approximately 3,000 feet of corridor. The project involved complex utility coordination, pole relocations, structural upgrades, and maintenance of uninterrupted service within a constrained municipal environment.
Key challenges included maintaining system reliability during phased construction activities, complying with municipal and utility standards, coordinating with multiple stakeholders, addressing clearance and pole loading requirements, and executing the work within aggressive construction timelines while minimizing disruption to the public and surrounding infrastructure.
DST Engineers provided comprehensive utility engineering, distribution design, and construction support services for the roadway improvement initiative. The project scope included removal and relocation of existing utility poles, installation of new pole infrastructure, underground distribution modifications, secondary and service transfers, and system reinforcement activities.
The DST team performed detailed pole loading and structural analysis using industry-standard engineering software, including Pole Foreman, to validate the integrity and compliance of the proposed configurations. Engineering deliverables included construction drawings, operating maps, staking documentation, permit packages, traffic coordination support, QA/QC reviews, and municipal submission packages.
The project execution included:
DST Engineers delivered significant value through a highly coordinated and technically rigorous engineering approach tailored to complex municipal utility relocation projects.
