Glades Utility Services Inc. (GUS) was formed over ten years ago to meet the electric construction needs throughout Florida. It originated in performing mainly distribution construction and maintenance while assisting the community with storm restoration services. With a vast experience in distribution facility construction, specializing in line construction and rebuilding circuits, our electric distribution crews are highly experienced in the conditions within the Florida environment. To this day we are always prepared to assist the community when hurricanes and storms threaten our electric distribution networks. Our crews are experienced in both overhead and underground construction with safety and quality workmanship as top priorities.
In 2011, GUS decided to add a new dimension to its already proven list of utility related services. In July of this year GUS introduced its Forestry Division. Specializing in both distribution and transmission vegetation management, herbicide application and emergency response. This new branch gives GUS's customers the same quality workmanship and emphasis on safety as our Energy Division has been producing for years
GUS possesses strong leadership skills in managing both its distribution and transmission work crews and is quite capable of being very mobile and available to move to various work locations efficiently. Our crews are regularly trained in safety procedures and work practices such as bare hand work. An important aspect of our crews is the ability to assess and work in the harsh Florida terrain.
Over the past few years our infrastructure, fleet and warehouse facilities have expanded to meet requirements warranted by projects GUS has performed. GUS has built an extensive fleet to support most situations, as needed. Whenever specialized equipment is necessary, management utilizes its knowledge and resources to lease equipment and minimize the time required on the job. Through a variety of previously constructed jobs, GUS has assembled a large assortment of specialty tools ready for delivery to the job sites.
GUS’s commitment to safety and quality workmanship continues on with a high degree of support in its project management and financial areas. GUS’s investment in its project tracking system is among the most detailed and accurate due to its new Foundation software, which is extensively used by construction companies throughout the country. Our present leadership has over 40 years in electrical utility experience. With this experience GUS has the ability to assess, manage and complete projects safely, on schedule, and with complete satisfaction by its customers.
