Sixty years of outside electrical construction.
Power Line Constructors, Inc. is a full-service outside electrical construction company that has built a solid reputation servicing the Northeastern USA for forty years and counting — on contracts both public and private, prime and sub.
PLC is primarily engaged in the construction of Traffic Signal Systems, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Fiber Optic Telecommunication Networks, Roadway and Highway Lighting, and Decorative and Pedestrian Lighting. From our main office in Clinton, NY, we support all the above listed technologies with a staff of administrators, engineers, superintendents, technicians, and draftsmen.
PLC originated in a small garage on Main Street in Utica and moved to Clinton in 1972. We currently operate within a 20,000 square foot building situated on approximately 6 acres on Robinson Road. Throughout the year, the company employs approximately 100 people who perform work on public and private contracts within the State of New York.
In the last ten years, PLC has demonstrated its proficiency in sophisticated construction of intelligent traffic systems. In 2006, PLC began work on an $8,000,000 traffic signal interconnect project involving the NYS Thruway’s Buffalo exits and associated NYSDOT highways, which was expected to be completed by the end of 2007. In 2004, PLC as prime contractor completed a $7,000,000 NYSDOT traffic signal interconnect project located in the Albany–Schenectady area. From 1996 to 1998, PLC built a city-wide traffic signal interconnect in the City of Syracuse, with a state-of-the-art traffic control system that enables the city’s traffic engineers to monitor vehicle and pedestrian traffic at approximately 140 intersections and to adjust the flow of traffic as and when necessary to meet specific needs — whether for rush hour, emergency, or weather conditions.

A multi-generational, women-founded company.
In 1998, Dun & Bradstreet and Entrepreneur Magazine reported that Power Line Constructors was the fifth largest woman-owned small business in the United States. PLC was co-founded in 1963 by Delores Critelli and Elmer Wahl, and the company continues under family leadership today.
