Next began the largest storm recovery effort
in KEYS history. It took over $40M and an
orchestrated effort from suppliers, crew members,
and other utilities to restore power. More than 500
crew members from seven states worked tirelessly
to restore power to the entire system in less than
three weeks.
Of the 325 ductile iron poles already on KEYS’
system, not one fell during the storm. According
to Finigan, the ductile iron poles exceeded
expectations. Because of this, KEYS called on
McWane to supply all of the poles to rebuild its
system. McWane responded. The team worked
overtime and weekends to supply 200 poles
within three weeks. After power was restored,
Finigan said, “we could not have done it without
McWane’s help.”
