Traditional stringing methods often pose risks to both equipment and personnel, particularly in challenging environments. The most significant advancement is the widespread adoption of the tension stringing or pulling method.

This modern approach involves using hydraulic pullers and OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners to string conductors and ground wires from a distance, without letting the wires touch the ground. This method offers several key benefits:

• Damage Prevention: It prevents mechanical damage to the conductor's outer layer, which can occur during ground-based stringing.

• Enhanced Safety: It reduces the need for workers to be in close proximity to the high-tension conductors, minimizing safety risks.

• Efficiency: It allows for efficient stringing over obstacles like roads, rivers, and existing power lines, significantly speeding up the construction process.
