In January 2020, ELECTRI International commissioned Maxim Consulting to conduct a research initiative specifically addressing the Future of Line Contracting. The study first evaluated major trends driving the transmission line market. Second, the research consultants collected in-depth contractor-specific information on ways to capitalize upon these trends.

When studying contractors, the focus was on the following areas:

• Their market forces
• Technology and Tool changes
• Processes and Operations
• People, Labor, and Competencies
• Industry Changes
• Regulatory Changes

This study seeks to help guide contractors towards a future strategy by answering three questions:

• What trends and market forces are driving the future of line construction projects?
• How do you retain the knowledge accumulated by linemen and workers who are nearing retirement?
• What process and systems will you introduce to transform the workplace and fill those worker gaps more quickly?
