What are the key stages of overhead transmission line construction?
2025-08-12Professional Answer: The construction of a new overhead transmission line is a complex, multi-stage project that we specialize in supporting with our comprehensive range of equipment. The key stages are:
-
Surveying & Design: This initial phase involves route planning, environmental impact studies, and detailed engineering to determine tower types, conductor specifications, and overall line layout.
-
Foundation Installation: Heavy-duty augers and drilling equipment are used to create the footings for the towers. Our tools are designed for precision and durability in various soil conditions.
-
Tower Erection: This phase involves the assembly and hoisting of tower components. We supply a wide array of tools for this, including gin poles, hoisting pulleys, and winch machines, which are critical for safe and efficient erection.
-

It is a highly specialized task where our tension stringing equipment—including pullers and OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners—is essential to prevent conductor damage and maintain the correct sag and tension.
-
Final Checks & Commissioning: A final inspection and testing phase to ensure the line's integrity and safety before it becomes operational. Our tools are built to the highest safety and quality standards to ensure a successful outcome.
