Safety is paramount in any power line construction project. Our professional equipment is designed with safety features to minimize risks, but proper procedures are equally critical. Key safety considerations and best practices include:

• Proper Equipment Inspection: Before each use, all equipment, including puller-OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners, OHTLstringingequipment.com/Stringing-Blocks--Sheaves.html target='_blank'>Stringing Blocks, and pulling ropes, must be thoroughly inspected for any signs of wear or damage. Our equipment is manufactured to meet rigorous quality standards, but regular checks are essential.

• Grounding and Bonding: All equipment and conductors being strung must be properly grounded to protect workers from induced voltages and static charges. Creating an equipotential work zone is a fundamental safety practice.

• Site Survey and Planning: A detailed survey of the entire transmission line route is necessary to identify potential hazards like crossing roads, energized lines, or difficult terrain. This allows for the proper placement of equipment and the use of protective measures like guard structures and insulator covers.

• Tension and Sag Control: Correct tension and sag are vital for the long-term integrity and performance of the line. The tensioning process must be carefully monitored using accurate instruments to ensure the conductor is installed according to engineering specifications.
