Canoochee EMC Selects McLean for Storm Damage Assessment

Canoochee Electric Membership Corporation (EMC), based in Reidsville, Ga., recently called on McLean Engineering, an Osmose company, to provide a storm damage assessment of its electrical distribution system. This project was necessitated by Hurricane Helene, a devastating storm that packed a destructive punch to the Southeastern United States in September.

McLean Engineering will inspect Canoochee EMC’s electrical distribution systems to determine where damage has and has not occurred, and collect data at the damaged locations. McLean will also inspect and collect data on all construction assembly units which were replaced due to storm damage.

McLean provides many types of system inspection services to municipalities, cooperatives and investor-owned utilities.
