DEMCO Selects McLean for Joint Attachment Audit

DEMCO, based in Greenwell Springs, La., recently selected McLean Engineering Company to provide a joint attachment audit for the 133,000 poles on its electric system.

As part of its joint use and pole attachment agreements, DEMCO is due to conduct a pole attachment count and joint use inventory on its system. The cooperative selected McLean Engineering to provide this count in an effort to collect updated information on a GIS basis, improve relationships with its attachers, and clean up late transfers.

McLean works with many municipalities, cooperatives and state trade organizations to navigate through joint-use concerns by providing expertise in all areas related to joint-use and pole attachment matters.
