Pike Electric, subcontractors to Duke Energy, used a bucket truck to first drill a hole (left) and then set a new pole to the right of the existing one. Except for cutting a few pine trees where the truck sits in the photo, this installation was easily accomplished because of accessibility from DeVinney Road (right photo foreground).
