Were they replacing overhead lines?

That does sound like an easy and painless process. It would be cool if there’s some electric utility lurkers here to shed some light on what the true costs are

I think but the overheads are not down yet. It was pretty recent. Curiously our condo just recently had our lights replaced and they used something similar but a smaller version. It blew me away as I had not known something like that existed. Im not sure if its a realtively new technology or what but it would be great if underground became the norm.
