04/12/2009 - Tornado Tests First Reconductor Project

One day after AP&L finished the Morgan Road Reconductor project and moved their equipment to the next project site, the city of Murfreesboro was struck by an EF-4 tornado that carved a path of destruction through many areas of town, inlcuding the Morgan Road area.  Although AP&L left the neighborhood in emaculate condition, the storm came in right behind them and made a huge mess.  There were even houses that had been energized with new primary cable only days before that were damaged beyond repair and had to be rebuilt.  It was not exactly a time to celebrate, but all involved realized that it was reliable underground power like that in the Morgan Road subdivision that allowed MED to get the power back on in record time after such a devestating event.

 

 

01/15/2009 - Reconductor Work To Continue at MED

 

Reliance Energy Consulting was chosen by Murfreesboro Electric Department in 2008 to oversee planning of several underground primary replacement projects.  Utilizing the eJobsite ^tm service offered by Reliance, project members were able to get the first of these  projects off to a successful start.  The project team, made up of staff from MED, Reliance and APL, are all working together to keep this project on track despite holiday scheduling and inclement weather challenges.  As a result of this initial success, MED has given orders to begin planning on the next project of this sort.  For more information regarding the eJobsite ^tm service, go to Web Applications.
