A severe wind storm hit Quebec and more than one million customers lost power. In the field, our linemen have the difficult task of restoring power, one outage at a time. The pressure is on.
At 5 a.m., our linemen in Laval receive a 911 call: a snowplow hit a power pole. 250 customers and an elementary school are left without electricity. Our linemen must restore power as quickly as possible.
A power outage in Saint-Anne-des-Lacs is giving our linemen a hard time. The place is not easily accessible and the workers need snowmobiles to get there. Braving the cold and dark forest, this operation suddenly turns into a real epic. Yanick's patience is put to the test.
In Laval, our linemen are live-line working on a 14,000-volt power line. This is a very delicate task and they cannot afford to make any mistakes.
In the Laurentians, thousands of customers lost power after an impressive snowfall. Our linemen are deployed to La Minerve to restore power to a long electrical circuit in the middle of the forest. This task promises to be arduous.
A long day at work in Laval: 16 linemen, 8 trucks, 6 traffic control persons. Since this operation takes place on a busy street, caution is required. Today, Sébastien is not feeling very well...
