Fannin County Electric Cooperative has contracted with RMA Engineering, LLC (RMA Engineering) to perform utility pole safety inspection and maintenance services within our service territory.  RMA Engineering crews will be working in the area to evaluate the condition of Fannin County Electric Cooperative‐owned poles and to perform any necessary maintenance.  We ask that you allow RMA Engineering personnel access to all Fannin County Electric Cooperative facilities that are located within the utility easement that is on or adjacent to your property.  Once on‐site, the inspection process takes approximately 10‐30 minutes per pole but can occasionally extend up to two hours when extensive maintenance activities are required. We apologize for any inconvenience this important process may cause.  You may acquire more information about the RMA Engineering by visiting their website at www.rmaengineer.com. If you have any additional questions, please contact RMA Engineering at 785‐262‐4762. To view a map of the areas to be inspected this year, Click Here.
