When Brad Masse, Local 258 IBEW Shop Steward and PLT at BC Hydro, worked on a special project a few years ago that included landing a 40,000-pound bridge, he knew it would be one worth documenting.

Masse was part of a crew of roughly 100 Local 258 members that helped build part of a new transmission line that ran approximately 350 kilometers from the interior of British Columbia to the lower mainland. View video here.

They pre-built sections of towers in a large fly yard, then the sky crane would land them and they'd climb the towers and bolt them together. "I chose this photo because it highlights the teamwork and dedication it took for all of us Union members to complete it," Masse said.

This is the second year in a row Brother Masse has achieved a winning spot in the Union’s annual photo contest, as he became the first Canadian IBEW member to be awarded for the winning photo in last year’s contest.
