around the world. The origin of utilities
may bring to mind grandiose stories
like Thomas Edison failing 1,000 times

tors have the time for today. In fact,
contractors are being asked to accomplish
more work on tighter deadlines,
requiring peak efficiency.
Rising demand on infrastructure is
steadily exceeding contractors' capacity
to maintain, let alone improve, utility
construction. The global utility system
construction market grew from $706.06

2022 - compound annual growth rate
(CAGR) of 9.1 percent. In 2026, the
market is predicted to hit $951.7 billion.
It is evident that utility construction
is on the rise, but limited budgets require
re-evaluation of methods and efficiency
to ensure the available funds can
stretch far enough. With crews facing a
