A year or two back they recently did maintenance on a majority of the high voltage towers in the greenway behind my house.

They sent out flyers to all the residents a few days ahead. This video shows once splice. I can't imagine the crew (or crews) that were working the miles of lines behind our house doing this for multiple days in a row.

This kind of splice repair should be rare. It only needs doing when the original splice was badly done.
