Posted

Linemen Bo Henry, Owen Walstad, Connor Beckebrede and John Sullivan, of Cuivre River Electric Cooperative in Troy, attended the Overhead and Aerial Basket School at the AMEC Training Center on Oct. 21-24 in Jefferson City.

The course emphasized safe and efficient live line work practices and procedures to the class. Field instruction focused on the proper application of protective insulating equipment, live line tools, and aerial devices utilized when installing and maintaining energized lines and equipment. CREC’s Crew Chief Tony Scherder served as an instructor, along with AMEC training staff and instructors from other Missouri’s electric cooperatives, and was assisted by Hubbell, Inc. during the school.

AMEC is the service organization for the state's 47 electric cooperatives which serves more than 560,000 rural Missourians.
