Since sag is the primary factor affecting ground clearance, accurately measuring and adjusting it is crucial. This is done during the OHTLstringingequipment.com/Conductor-Stringing-Equipment.html target='_blank'>conductor stringing process, using specialized tools. The most common methods and tools include:

• Sagging Boards or Sighting Methods: Simple and effective, this method involves using a sagging board to visually align with a pre-calculated sag-point.

• Laser Sagging Devices: For high-precision projects, laser tools can accurately measure the sag of the conductor and calculate tension in real-time.

• Surveying Equipment: Tools like a total station can be used to measure the height of the conductor at different points to ensure it complies with the required clearance.

Our hydraulic pullers and OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners are the core equipment used to make these precise adjustments. They allow operators to apply the exact amount of tension needed to achieve the designed sag, ensuring the line stays at or above the minimum ground clearance under all conditions.
