TRC Awarded Storm Hardening Contract by Public Service of New Hampshire

LOWELL, MA--(Marketwired - Jun 17, 2014) - TRC Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRR) was recently awarded a $1.5 million contract by Public Service of New Hampshire (PSNH) to support the hardening of transmission lines and structures throughout the state as a preventative measure against outages caused by weather events.

"Public Service of New Hampshire is a long-term client of TRC, and we are proud to support them on this important project," said Chris Vincze, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our experience in hardening Northeast Utilities' system in Connecticut after the 2011 storms made us uniquely qualified to manage this transmission engineering project, ensuring a stronger electrical infrastructure for PSNH and more reliable service for its customers." 

TRC will analyze 101 power lines (115 kV, 230 kV, and 345 kV) totaling 1,019 miles and approximately 11,500 structures within PSNH's transmission system. Based on that analysis, TRC will recommend design improvements for overloaded structures and prioritize them for replacement. The project is anticipated to be complete in 2015.
