A powerful winter storm hit North Texas in January 2026, bringing icy conditions that disrupted services to Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP) customers. Bowman responded quickly to support TNMP by coordinating emergency aerial helicopter service to inspect approximately 600 miles of distribution lines.
The aerial perspective provided real-time insights into damage severity, enabling TNMP field crews to prioritize and mobilize restoration efforts effectively. This approach not only accelerated response times but also enhanced the safety of crews working in hazardous conditions.
Bowman’s coordination with aviation partner TAC AV was critical in executing these efforts under tight time constraints. The successful collaboration between Bowman, TNMP and TAC AV highlights the importance of strong partnerships in emergency response and highlights Bowman’s capacity to support utility companies in crisis situations.
