SE Iowa | Here* I can feed any distribution circuit from two or more directions. We would switch it out to get a span or two isolated so it could be cut and lowered. You would move it through the gap and we would return the system to normal. Our company would have you on the clock charging you for each hour a crew and truck is dedicated to the job. Not cheap but not horrible. If it’s a radial feed and customer have to be dropped to de-energize it gets a little messy. If the bins aren’t very tall they can they can get ties on a few poles and use this jibs to lift up the line to maybe sneak under. That’s a cheaper option.
If you get a crane willing to lift it over idk if I would let the utility know. I sure wouldn’t want to know because I’d likely have to let management know of the situation and let them make the call on how to handle it. Just make sure of the capabilities and stay way clear of the lines especially on a windy day. Sometimes we put cover ups on lines so a crane operator can see them when working near out lines. Our typical stance is never allow something to get within 10’ of the lines. We usually don’t charge to put cover ups on the line.
*edit to add they usually charge 45$ an hour per truck, 100$ an hour per crew member, some administrative fees, and taxes. Probably a full day of three trucks three guys for reference.
