Staking Support Ensures Readiness for New Subdivision Infrastructure 

The Challenge

The project required comprehensive staking to change out pole locations and route a new line to supply a planned subdivision. Crews faced multiple challenges: the combination of extreme heat and active site preparation made the ground exceptionally hard, requiring extra effort to drive stakes to the proper depth. Additionally, the volume of staking to be completed over a short period demanded sustained focus and disciplined field coordination. As the project progressed, the potential for weather or site conditions to disturb layouts meant the team needed to maintain flexibility and readiness for adjustments. 

 

Root Cause Analysis 

  • Environmental Conditions: High temperatures and hard ground created difficult staking conditions. 
  • Large Scope of Work: Completing all staking on schedule required careful planning and consistent productivity. 
  • Dynamic Site Conditions: Construction preparation in the area increased the chance that some stakes could need re-setting. 

The Solution

Field Preparation and Obstruction Management 

Field crews removed rocks and other objects that interfered with staking. This ensured stakes were installed securely and precisely. 

Sequenced Scheduling and Pacing 

The work was divided over several days to maintain accuracy and manage heat exposure, reducing the risk of fatigue-related errors. 

Experienced Project Management 

Drawing on extensive experience in the region, Think Power Solutions planned the staking approach to anticipate likely obstacles and keep the project progressing safely and efficiently.   

Key Benefits

  • Timely Infrastructure Readiness: All required staking was completed in a manageable timeframe, supporting subdivision construction schedules.
