Extreme Weather Ignites a Proactive Assessment Strategy for Electric Co-Op

The Situation

In 2016, Hurricane Matthew pushed Canoochee EMC’s system and their internal crews to the limit. Stretched resources delayed restoration and progress, exposing a critical need for outside support.

Fast forward to 2024: Hurricane Helene devastated 90% of Canoochee EMC’s system, breaking over 550 poles and disrupting service to thousands. This time, instead of going it alone, the EMC turned to a trusted partner—McLean Engineering, now an Osmose^® company.

While the EMC crews focused on restoring power, five two-person Osmose teams hit the field, evaluating 2,600 miles of line across nine counties and 25,000 customers in just four weeks.
