Logistics – Warehousing
Utility & Construction Warehousing & Logistics
Power & Construction Group’s Logistics Division provides specialized warehousing and material handling services built for the utility and construction industries. From oversized utility components to high-value infrastructure materials, P&CG offers secure storage, precise handling, and integrated transportation, all supported by trained crews, documented processes, and purpose-built equipment.
This is commercial warehousing built to support everything from standard 48×40 palletized materials to oversized, high-value utility and construction components, handled with the same level of care, planning, and control.
Purpose-Built Warehousing for Utilities & Construction
Utilities and construction materials present challenges that traditional warehouses aren’t equipped to handle. Long utility poles, transformers, reels of wire, and oversized components require more than forklift access and open floor space; they demand planning, rigging expertise, and the right equipment from the moment materials arrive through final delivery.
P&CG’s warehousing operation functions as a centralized logistics hub for utility and construction materials. Inventory is received, stored, managed, and transported by in-house teams who understand these products, how they’re used in the field, and how to move them safely and efficiently.
Materials We Store and Handle
P&CG routinely warehouses and manages:
- Wooden and steel utility poles
- Transformers and switchgear
- Reels of wire and cable
- Construction and infrastructure materials
- Oversized, irregular, or high-value components
Each material type is handled with documented procedures and equipment selected specifically for its size, weight, and handling requirements.
Indoor and Outdoor Storage Options
Indoor Warehousing
P&CG operates two on-site warehouses at its Scottsville, NY campus:
- 40,000 square feet
- 20,000 square feet
Both facilities are designed for commercial and utility materials and include temperature-controlled storage for products with environmental requirements. Most of this space is currently available, allowing clients to scale quickly without delays.
Outdoor Storage and Pole Yard
For materials better suited to outdoor storage, P&CG maintains extensive yard space, including a dedicated pole yard and additional outdoor storage areas for:
- Steel poles
- Transformers
- Switches
- Reels of wire
With acres of cleared land already available, P&CG eliminates the capacity constraints many competitors face when additional storage is needed.
Specialized Handling and Rigging Capabilities
Many utility and construction materials cannot be handled safely with forklifts alone. P&CG’s logistics teams are trained in rigging and heavy lifts, supported by equipment such as:
- Telehandlers
- Cranes capable of lifting 20,000+ pounds
- Specialized lift and securement systems
Materials are lifted, placed, secured, and transported according to documented procedures, then handled again with the same level of care at delivery.
Safety-First Warehousing and Material Handling
Safety is built into how P&CG operates its warehousing and logistics services. Utility and construction materials are heavy, oversized, and often require specialized handling, which is why safety is managed locally and integrated directly into daily operations.
P&CG maintains an internal, on-site safety function that works alongside warehousing, logistics, and transportation teams. This allows safety practices to stay aligned with real-world conditions, equipment, and materials—not generic policies managed from a remote office.
Teams receive ongoing training in rigging, lift planning, load securement, equipment operation, and product identification. These standards apply across storage, handling, and transportation, helping reduce risk and ensure consistent execution from receipt through delivery.
Integrated Transportation and Delivery
Unlike many warehousing providers, P&CG operates its own trucking fleet. This integration allows tighter coordination between storage and delivery while eliminating reliance on third-party carriers unfamiliar with utility materials.
P&CG drivers are trained far beyond standard commercial driving requirements. Capabilities include:
- Boom operation for loading and unloading utility poles
- Coil-endorsed drivers for hauling large reels of wire
- Job-site handling and securement
- Field adaptability, including cutting poles to required lengths when needed
With drivers on site daily, P&CG can support same-day pickups and deliveries when required, well beyond the typical 48-hour lead times common in the trucking industry. Expedited shipments are available throughout the Northeast.
P&CG also supports project cleanup and material recovery, mobilizing crews to remote or active job sites to palletize, secure, and transport materials back to storage.
Storm Response and Emergency Material Support
P&CG’s Logistics Division supports utility storm response efforts by providing rapid transportation and handling of utility poles and related materials during restoration events. With owned equipment, trained drivers, and available capacity, P&CG can mobilize quickly when material demand spikes.
Drivers are experienced in boom operation and job-site handling, allowing poles and oversized materials to be loaded, transported, and placed safely and efficiently. This capability is especially critical during storm response, when speed, coordination, and safety directly impact restoration timelines.
P&CG can scale logistics support to meet short-term surge demand or longer-term recovery efforts. For utilities coordinating storm response or planning for increased material movement, immediate availability and responsive support are built into the operation.
Inventory Management and Visibility
Warehousing at P&CG goes beyond storage. Inventory is managed using an integrated Warehouse Management System (WMS) and Transportation Management System (TMS) powered by CartonCloud.
Clients benefit from:
- Centralized inventory tracking
- Real-time visibility into stored materials
- Pick, pack, and ship coordination
- Shipment tracking through final delivery
P&CG can also assist external organizations by improving inventory controls, whether stepping into under-managed facilities or centralizing materials previously spread across multiple locations.
Secure Storage for High-Value Materials
P&CG’s warehousing campus is intentionally located away from high-traffic areas, providing a natural layer of security for valuable inventory. This remote setting, combined with physical controls, allows utilities and contractors to store high-value materials with confidence.
Security measures include:
- Gated campus entrances
- Surveillance systems throughout the property
- Controlled access to storage areas
This combination of location, monitoring, and handling discipline makes P&CG a trusted partner for materials where loss or damage is not an option.
Strategic Location and Regional Reach
P&CG’s warehousing and logistics operations are based in:
- Scottsville, NY
- Auburn, ME
From these locations, P&CG supports clients throughout New York State, Maine, and the broader Northeast.
Strategic advantages include:
- Proximity to the Canadian border for freight-forwarding use cases
- Access to I-90, I-490, and I-590
- Approximately five hours from the Port of New York / New Jersey
This positioning supports staged distribution models, cross-border inventory storage, and efficient regional delivery.
What the Warehousing Process Looks Like
Most contracts begin with an on-site discovery session. Clients are invited to visit the campus, walk through the warehouses and yard space, and discuss operational needs directly with the logistics team.
Key considerations typically include:
- Material types and quantities
- Handling and rigging requirements
- Storage timelines
- Environmental needs
- Delivery and transportation expectations
- Specialized storage considerations
From there, P&CG develops a storage and handling plan aligned with the client’s operational goals. Contracts are typically structured for longer-term partnerships, often three to five years, though shorter arrangements are available when appropriate.
Ongoing Support and Continuous Improvement
P&CG views warehousing as an ongoing operational partnership, not a static service. Clients receive continued support through:
- Regular communication and coordination
- Quarterly reviews
- KPI and metric reporting
- Continuous improvement initiatives
This approach ensures operations remain efficient, transparent, and aligned with evolving needs.
Who This Service Is Designed For
P&CG’s warehousing services are ideal for:
- Electric and gas utilities
- Utility contractors
- Infrastructure and construction firms
- Manufacturers serving utility markets
Residential storage is not offered.
Part of the Power & Construction Group Advantage
Warehousing at P&CG is supported by a broader organization with deep experience in utilities, construction, and infrastructure work. With hundreds of skilled employees on the ground and multiple divisions collaborating under one organization, clients gain access to operational depth that standalone warehousing providers simply can’t match.
