Electric utilities across the U.S. are replacing aging infrastructure to provide safer and more reliable electricity. As they replace their aging electric transmission towers, these replacement projects will have an impact on existing wireless co-location sites located on the existing towers. Over the last six years, Public Service Electric and Gas (PSE&G) has undertaken a series of large tower replacement projects to upgrade their overhead electric transmission system. In this session, PSE&G representatives will discuss a number of lessons learned from these projects, including the best ways to identify wireless sites impacted by replacement projects, reviewing Master Services Agreements, how to work closely between the tower-replacement project team and the impacted wireless carriers, and much more. Attendees will learn by being prepared, having regularly scheduled meetings and/or conference calls and following a set process will help get these sites relocated more efficiently for your wireless attachment group.
