Case Study: Northern Indiana Public Service Company restores power safely with Davey Tree storm response services

Northern Indiana Public Service Company restores power in 5 days with Davey

A Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO) customer faced a dangerous situation after a severe storm uprooted a tree, leaving it hanging on a communication wire over a backyard pool and pulling down a primary power line. With high voltage near water and the risk of the tensioned wire snapping, NIPSCO called upon Davey, their contracted utility service provider, for a safe tree removal to help restore power.

Davey crews used ropes, chainsaws, and polesaws to meticulously remove limbs and the final log, applying strict safety protocols and maintaining constant communication throughout the hazardous operation. The removal was completed successfully in an hour and a half without incident. For the broader storm response, Davey's work helped restore power to NIPSCO's customers in the Bristol area within five days.
