who we are 2.png

Built by Linemen. Run by Linemen.

Nevada powerline construction for mines, co-ops, and utilities, built on nearly 50 years of experience and a commitment to doing the work right.

Power Delivery Done Right.

Hogum Powerline Construction is a Nevada-based electrical contractor founded by two industry veterans who have spent their careers building, managing, and maintaining powerlines across the country. We specialize in serving gold mines, rural electric co-ops, and utilities that need a crew they can count on: one that shows up prepared, works to a high standard, and documents everything along the way.

We're not a generalist shop. We focus on distribution-level work under 69kV, which means our crew, our equipment, and our processes are purpose-built for the type of work our clients actually need.

What Sets Us Apart

Hogum was founded on a belief that this industry deserves better: better crews, better standards, and better communication. Every project we take on gets the same level of care: a detailed job briefing before work begins, mandatory PPE and safety protocols on every site, and complete documentation of every structure and piece of equipment we work on.
