Ertel Construction recently mobilized overhead power line crews to Arkansas in support of the power restoration efforts due to the ice storm that devastated the state on December 25, 2012. At the peak of the storm, Entergy Arkansas reported close to 300,00 outages. The Ertel crews were mobilized from North Carolina and South Carolina with minimal notice. The crews reached the hardest hit area of Pulaski County Arkansas in less than 48 hours from time of mobilization. The crews worked in cold, wet conditions to restore power in difficult terrain. Entergy Arkansas reported that 99 percent of the power restoration efforts were completed by the morning of January 1, 2013.
