Clark Energy Cooperative Selects McLean Engineering for Joint Use Inventory

Clark Energy Cooperative, based in Winchester, Ky., recently selected McLean Engineering Company to provide a joint use inventory for the over 55,000 poles on its electric system.

As part of its joint use and pole attachment agreements, Clark Energy 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 and improve relationships with its attachers.

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.
