We would have used tiger-tails to insulate the lines. Then we'd be going in with a line spreader pole that squeezes the lines apart and anchors them together. The spreader gets picked-up by a crane to lift them above the pole height. (Our poles are steel and concrete - so very conductive) Then we'd have the machine place the pole into the ground anchor, where it would be grouted in - absolutely 100% plumb. Then the crane would lower the wires to correct height - where line anchoring would occur. We place lines on the top of the cross-arm and bolt the insulator cap down The spreader bar is packed-up and everything looks perfect. Nobody gets between lines - nobody is holding a loaded cable.

Butter fingers on what? They’re not cutting wire tails? 3 wire construction gives you plenty of spacing between yourself and opposite phases.

It’s a fiberglass arm if you’re concerned about second point of contact maybe??? Are you an apprentice?

Ground both ends of all 3 phases and it is safe to work on.

Experienced lineman use common sense when they work. Scared or inexperienced lineman, do every little thing the company asks for regardless if it makes sense or not. They did nothing wrong, your company is keeping you in a box. You’re concerned about the boom but look at how far away it is from all the phases. You’re concerned about the energized phases to their backs but look at how far the separation is. Also, they didn’t cut any wire or handle any long tails. What is positive control to you and how would that have been safer than they way they moved the wire? Why would you cover a fiberglass arm? Are you assuming it’s really wet? Are you assuming the pole was soaked in water before they set it? Do you do any logical thinking before you do a job?

This really is not the safest crew. Many places would have much more rubber up there. With that being said, yes, the bucket has an insolated lining in it so even if you do make contact, it would only bite you, not electrocute you. Many buckets also have insulated booms along side with the insulated bucket. So even if they make contact they probably won't get injured.

The bucket truck(manlift) they are working out of would have minimum insulated rating of 46,000 volts, and the upper boom arm is mostly all fiberglass and insulated. In theory the lineman could barehand the line from the bucket and be ok, but the real danger is line to line contact. If they make contact between the two lines, there is no insulaiton to protect them other than the rubber gloves/sleeves they are wearing.

Hard to believe that they set that pole with no cover but on one phase what if you lose control of that pole

They worked outside the phases, never had a loose wire flopping around, the arm made out of same material as the jumper pins, and they stayed out of reach of the pole. What’s the issue

Arm is fiberglass I think the insulators are plastic or polymer. They didn’t not apply enough line guards or coverup to protect themselves from the high voltage if one measure of protection failed. You can never be too safe.

So I’m assuming there gonna make that a double dead end eventually?

Linemen need more credit. Because with shows having jobs that are considered the deadliest the reason they are considered deadly is because of how many people die. If lineman wanted to have they're job considered the deadliest job it would be easy to become careless. The Only reason they don't have the deadliest job is because of their skill and professionalism prevents many accidents and deaths. which is Why they deserve more credit because their job is extremely hazardous and can be deadly but they don't allow it to be that way due to their professionalism.

If the new pole is only in dirt with no concrete, won't it get loose over time when it rains?

No, the rain will actually help the dirt compact around the pole better and concrete will prematurely rot the pole. No utility sets wooden poles with concrete, spoil from the hole, crushed stone or a two part expanding foam.

So they don't use concrete to secure the wood that was inside the ground? Just curious.

Sometimes they do sometimes they don’t. I’ve heard of something called polecrete which might serve a similar funtion.

How is the vehcile isolated from ground? Just by the tires? I mean imagine accidental touch of one phase to metal arm of the crane you guys are up there.

The tires insulate a tiny bit but on bucket trucks, there is usually a liner and insulated boom(s). I don’t know about cranes though. Cranes have to be grounded where I live when doing work so it’d probably create an arc.

What voltage are we looking at here?

I’m guessing 7.2kv phase to ground or 12470 phase to phase. Just a guess though based off of the insulator sizes.
