U.S. 129 & U.S. 321 Intersection Update

1/13/2020

Comments

 
Update 2/6/20
Progression Electric has been working on the signals and plan to transition the power from the old cabinet to the new cabinet the week of February 10. Old signals will be removed and soon after the lanes will be opened.

​Previously 1/13/20
​Contractors working for the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) have reported that they are still waiting for delivery of the remaining components to complete the signalization of the U.S. 129 and U.S. 321 intersection. Until the signals are completed, the turning lanes will remain blocked since the existing signals do not have capability for dual left turning lanes.
 
The equipment delay is a nationwide issue and the traffic signal industry has experienced significant backlog due to increased production demands and the small number of manufacturers producing the equipment. Currently the lead time to order signal poles and their components is six to nine months or more. Progression Electric, the contractor for the project has now received most of the equipment but is still waiting on the brackets that hold the signal heads on the mast arms. Once these are received, it is expected to take about a week to complete the intersection.
 
The project began in November 2018 and was scheduled to be completed by July 2019. Improvements include dual, protected left turns on U.S. 321 westbound, an acceleration lane for safer merging onto U.S. 129 north, and widening of the U.S. 129 Bypass from four to six lanes from U.S. 321 to U.S. 411. City engineers speculate the project could be completed by the end of the month if all the parts are delivered within the next two weeks.

Maryville Electric Department Power Restoration - January 11-13

1/13/2020

Comments

 
Storms from Saturday, January 11, 2020 resulted in widespread outages in Maryville according to utilities director Baron Swafford. More than 2,200 customers were affected at the peak of the storm. Most of the damage occurred after the first wave of storms around 5:00 p.m. on Saturday with another strong system at around 10:30 which significantly slowed progress for the crews. Crews were called in and dispatched to several locations, including the Montvale Road area where fallen tree limbs pulled lines down affecting nearly 800 customers. The worst of the damage was at Old Knoxville Pike north of Brown School Road. The damage to this feeder line affected around 1,100 customers.

Significant, Complex Damage to Feeder Lines
Maryville Electric Electrical Engineering Technician, Tony Bailey reported, “The damage occurred near the substation at Old Knoxville Pike on one of the two feeder lines. There were two poles down, a bunch of tangled up wire and trees on top of wire. Unfortunately, because of the location of the damage on this line, we were unable to restore any power on that line until the mess could be cleaned up and restored.”

Cleaning up the mess included tree removal to allow access for the repairs and required waiting for emergency utility locates which must be done before utility crews are legally able to dig to restore a pole. Then, lines had to be untangled, the pole reset and line breakage repaired. “It can be a long process from start to finish in an incident like this,” said Bailey. Customers on this line experienced around a ten-hour outage while the crew worked to repair the damage.

Another outage in the Triangle Park Drive area off U.S. 321 was not reported until Sunday morning when the owner of a business in that park called in to report a pole down. Crews were dispatched to this area Sunday morning where they discovered additional significant pole and wire damage had occurred. The crews worked all day Sunday and were back Monday morning to complete the restoration.
​
Automated Outage Management System
The City invested in an automated outage management system in 2016 and it has been an invaluable tool during storm and outage events like this one. Bailey reported that prior to implementation, the dispatcher was unable to receive outage notifications from customers in a timely manner due to the large number of callers. “Most of the time during large outages, before the automated system was in place, you would likely get a busy signal,” Bailey said. Now, customers can call the automated line and find out if the outage has been reported; or report the outage if it has not. “They can also opt in for a return automated call when the power has been restored,” he said. “With this system, all outages are reported at the time the customer calls in and we can follow up on any calls that we cannot find by visual inspection. Additionally, our resources are able to respond to the problems that caused the outage without having additional people answering phones.”

Bailey explained, “Prior to restoring power, crews often have to travel the area where the outage is reported until they can locate the problem. Sometimes the problems are easy to find – like a downed pole. Other times, it may be more difficult. If customers see our trucks in their area, it is likely they are looking for the issue, reporting back to dispatch if they need help clearing the path or if they need additional materials and crews.
“Fortunately, events like this past weekend are rare,” said Swafford. “We know it is problematic for customers to go without power for extended periods of time and we do everything we can to restore them as soon as possible. It’s just not always an immediate process.”

City of Maryville Mayor Tom Taylor expressed his appreciation. “Thank you to all the linemen who worked throughout Saturday night and early morning Sunday to restore power throughout the system. They were back at it again at daybreak on Sunday and still have a few poles to repair today. Thanks, too, to the engineering and public works crews, highway department, police department, fire department and sheriff’s department who were also on the front lines removing obstacles and keeping the public safe. And, thanks to the customers for their understanding during this process. Most people don’t see what it takes to get power back on after a system like this. We are proud of the work these crews do - sometimes under the harshest of conditions.”
