Our History of Storm Projects

In January of 2014 Metro Pole worked on the restoration project in Highland Park, Texas. We replaced damaged copper and fiber cables, trimmed trees away from fallen and
damaged telephone lines, as well as aided with the clean up and restoration.

In December of 2013 AT&T facilities were hit by a large ice storm in Paris, Texas. We sent six line crews and two pole setting crews to remove and replace numerous broken and damaged poles. Our line crews placed hundreds of feet of both copper and fiber cables. We also trimmed and removed hundreds of trees that had fallen on telephone lines.

In 2008 we deployed 16 crews and worked in
Houston, Galveston, and Beaumont for months placing telephone poles, replacing copper, coax, trimmed trees, transferred poles, and wrecked out many miles of damaged cables. 

We had aerial crews working to restore Time Warner facilities and transferred existing cables to new power poles.

In December of 2008 Valor Communication facilities which is now known as Windstream Communications was hit by a large ice storm in Texarkana, Texas. We sent five line crews and three pole setting crews to replace numerous broken poles and remove the damaged poles. Our line crews placed hundreds of feet of both copper and fiber cables. We also trimmed and removed hundreds of trees that had fallen on telephone lines.

In 2005 we were the AT&T prime contractor for  cleaning up the damage in Beaumont and Port Arthur, Texas. We placed over five hundred telephone poles, two hundred anchors and many miles of telephone cable. Our crews also trimmed thousands of trees, and assisted in the major clean up. We had twenty crews working on this project for three months.

1994 - In April of 1994, an F2 tornado hit Desoto and Lancaster, Texas. After the streets were cleared from debris, AT&T called us in to replace over 100 broken telephone poles. This project lasted over a month.

1983 - We were the prime contractor for Southwestern Bell for Hurricane Alishia that hit the Greater Houston area. We had 10 crews that placed and removed many miles of cable, and trimmed trees and performed major clean up.
