National, A Centuri Company
For more than two decades, National Powerline has provided electrical services and infrastructure construction for distribution, transmission, substation, renewables, and storm response.
The lineman profession began in the 1840s with the introduction of the telegraph. Back, then lines were installed on trees- then poles- to facilitate long-distance communication. Nearly 180 years later, there are more than 120,000 lineworkers across the U.S. that commit every day to ensuring our lights stay on and our communities stay connected.![]()

The work requires a high degree of training, skill, and bravery. Lineworkers traverse challenging conditions and are the first responders when the power goes out. They work at heights, at all hours, and in extreme temperatures. Their work often goes unseen, but their impact is visible and felt by every single one of us.![]()

Winter conditions can wreak havoc just about anywhere. Recently, as part of our work to support the Western Area Power Administration (WAPA's) work to revitalize infrastructure serving the residents of Estes Park, our National team was called upon to address wire that was galloping due to winter weather. The solution: putting 2,005 airflow spoilers on 17 double circuit spans.![]()

How’d they do it? Harnessed in a Bosun Chair and connected to a Summit helicopter, the team wrapped long (up to 16 ft.), hard-to-bend spoilers in place.![]()

National, along with Centuri, NPL Construction Co., and Utility Design Services, exhibited as #OneTeam at the Better Together Business Summit and Expo in Phoenix, AZ today. This event brings many area companies together and promotes supplier diversity throughout the Southwest.
In October 2023, National completed a 16-mile double-circuit steel transmission line connecting the Town of Estes Park and Flatiron Reservoir. A highlight of the project was the use of a CH-47 Chinook helicopter to help carry and install poles ranging from 8,000 lbs. to 15,000 lbs. The helicopter was specifically chosen for this project for its lifting capacity and ability to support our work at extreme altitudes.![]()

Did you know the Chinook is the only military helicopter developed in the 1960s still in production and service after 50 years?![]()
