Didado Utility Company returns from hurricane ravished Louisiana and Texas

Crews, vehicles and equipment from Didado Utility Company are back home in Akron following two months of hurricane restoration work in the Louisiana and Texas Gulf Coast Region. The Akron-based electrical contracting company initially headed south to help restore power outages from Hurricane Gustav and stayed on to assist with the devastation created by Hurricane Ike.

Recognized for its ability to respond quickly and in large numbers, Didado Utility Company provides both high-voltage and ground level disaster relief services. The company utilizes its own personnel as well as electrical linemen from other parts of the country.

While in Texas, the company’s High Voltage Group worked closely with CenterPoint Energy, whose electric delivery system suffered a direct hit from Ike. The resulting power outage was the largest in Texas history, plunging more than 95% of CenterPoint Energy’s customers – 2.15 million at the height of the storm – into darkness.

As Didado Utility Company President Gary Didado said, "We’re there to help restore normalcy to the individuals whose lives have been disrupted. Our crews understand our philosophy and they believe in it. That’s why we are one of the first companies called."

Didado Utility Company is an affiliate of J.W. Didado Electric, a major electrical contracting firm founded in 1958. The companies employ electrical technicians trained in industrial, commercial, residential, high-voltage and disaster relief services. Both Didado Utility Company and J.W. Didado Electric are members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Works (IBEW).

Didado Utility Company dispatches crews for "storm of the century" assistance

High voltage linemen, vehicles and equipment from Didado Utility Company have arrived in western Kentucky where what many are calling “the storm of the century” has left well over one million homes and businesses in a six-state region without power. In addition to Kentucky, Didado Utilities Company plans to provide repair services in Indiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Illinois and Missouri.

The Akron-based electrical contracting company is assisting local utility forces with restoring high-voltage lines and poles and making ground level repairs to residential, commercial and industrial structures. Inches of ice deposited during several days of inclement weather caused trees, power lines and utility poles to snap and left entire counties without power.

Didado Utility Company President Gary Didado said, "We received a call for help and were able to mobilize a large group of technicians and vehicles within a matter of hours. Damage from this storm appears to be extensive, which makes me think our crews will be there for several weeks."

Relying on both its own personnel and an extensive network of highly trained electrical linemen, Didado Utility Company has earned a reputation as a reliable and quick responder to natural disasters. Within the past several months, Didado Utility Company has helped repair damage caused by ice storms in Detroit and New Hampshire and hurricanes along the Louisiana and Texas Gulf Coast.

Didado Utility Company heads to New Hampshire for ice storm recovery assistance

On the heels of two months of hurricane recovery work on the Gulf Coast, Didado Utility Company today dispatched 35 vehicles and 60 linemen to New Hampshire where a major ice storm has plunged more than 344,000 electric customers into cold and darkness.

Akron-based Didado Utility Company provides both high-voltage and ground level disaster relief services. The company works hand-in-hand with utility companies to repair and replace downed poles and lines.

Using its own personnel and through a nationwide network of trained high-voltage linemen, Didado Utility Company is able to respond quickly and in large numbers when disaster strikes. The company served the people of New Orleans following the Hurricane Katrina devastation and recently spent two months in Texas and the Louisiana Gulf Coast region helping to restore power outages caused by Hurricanes Ike and Gustav.

"Our ability to get qualified personnel from all over the country in hours, not days, is one of our biggest assets,"Didado Utility Company President Gary Didado said. "When we respond, as we did today to New Hampshire, our job is to serve the people who are suffering and restore their lives to normal as quickly as possible."
