Hydro pole, power line, underground service, and trenching work can vary by property. These answers cover common questions before starting a conversation with Stone City.
If the project involves a hydro pole, overhead power line, underground power service, trenching, excavation, rock drilling, or related utility work, Stone City is a practical place to start. Depending on the scope, the project may also involve electrical contractors, excavators, drilling specialists, utility involvement, controlling authorities, or landscape restoration. Stone City helps identify and coordinate the appropriate support based on the work required.
Send the property location, a short description of the work, and photos if available. Stone City can review the information and discuss the next step.
Helpful information includes the property location, the type of work needed, whether the project is new work, replacement, upgrade, or repair, the approximate distance involved if known, photos of the pole, line, work area, or possible path, your preferred timeline, and any known entry or work-area concerns.
If there is a required drawing or layout from a controlling authority such as Hydro One, the City of Kingston, or an equivalent authority, include that as well.
Cost can depend on the type of work, distance, room for equipment, ground conditions, rock, trenching, pole work, connection points, and the existing setup on the property.
A hydro pole may be needed when power has to reach a home, shop, barn, garage, outbuilding, commercial area, or another part of the property. The need depends on the distance, existing service setup, and what the pole would serve.
A pole may need replacement if it is aging, damaged, leaning, deteriorating, or no longer suitable for the current service setup. Photos of the pole and surrounding area are helpful when starting the conversation.
In some cases, overhead service may be changed to underground service. The answer depends on the property, the distance, the underground run, the ground conditions, and the existing setup.
