Answer: Yes. The most current and proactive approach is to adopt avian-safe construction standards for all new power line installations. Industry guidelines, such as those from the Avian Power Line Interaction Committee (APLIC), recommend specific clearances to ensure that the spacing between energized conductors and/or grounded hardware is sufficient to accommodate the wingspan of large birds like eagles. The recommended horizontal separation is typically 60 inches (152.4 cm) and a vertical separation of at least 40 inches (101.6 cm).

In situations where these clearances are not feasible, our insulation enhancement products are crucial for retrofitting existing structures and ensuring they meet avian-safe standards. By proactively implementing these measures, we help utility companies protect wildlife, maintain reliable power delivery, and comply with international environmental protection regulations.
