Line construction was the core of our business at its inception in 1940, and remains a key part of our work today. We have deep technical expertise in high-voltage transmission, distribution and substation construction, and a long history as a contractor for some of the nation's largest utilities, independent and alternative energy producers, and the global telecom industry. Today, we provide a broad scope of electrical construction capabilities to select customers in the energy sector, with an emphasis on support operations for diversified power producers.
Since 1945, utility-related forestry has been a core element of the Penn Line organization. Today, we work for some of the nation's largest energy producers and highway systems. We are a single source for broad capabilities in all aspects of vegetation management. Our core capabilities include; Utility Line Maintenance; Right-of-Way Clearing and Maintenance; Herbicide Application; Storm Restoration; and Mowing. Infrastructure services have been a mainstay of our business for generations. We are one of the Mid-Atlantic region's oldest and largest contractors specializing in the construction of traffic safety barriers and roadside development services.
Our pruning methods conform to your utility's requirements for line clearance and preservation of the tree's health. You may contact us at (724) 887-2152, and we will be glad to review your specific situation. Generally, however, additional work solely to improve the appearance of the tree is not covered by the utility, and you may need to engage a third-party arborist for it. Tree trimming and other forms of vegetation management are needed so that your electric utility can provide you with a reliable source of power.
