About

If you wonder how the modern world works, you're in the right place! How does dam construction work? Where does steel come from? And what giant machines and people are involved along the way? What's the point? First, everyone should appreciate this unknown world that keeps their lives moving 24/7. Second, it offers a phenomenal career for those willing to work hard and seeking purpose. What is BuildWitt? We're a company on a mission to Build the Dirt World's Next Generation through people-first software, leadership events, and storytelling. For those in civil construction wanting to train and develop their people better, learn more: BuildWitt.com And a huge thank you to our channel sponsor Ariat Work!

Video Description

Power enables modern life, but it's not witchcraft (believe it or not). This brings us to today's project—SunZia transmission, a three-gigawatt HVDC transmission line spanning 550 miles from the nation's largest clean energy project to Arizona and beyond. To make it happen, Quanta Services is on the scene with many of its subsidiaries, including Winco Powerline Services, a company specializing in aerial line work using helicopters. It's as neat as it sounds!
