What is the typical process for building a new overhead utility line?

2025-08-13

The construction of a new overhead line is a complex, multi-stage process that requires precision and specialized equipment.

  1. Surveying and Planning: The project begins with a detailed survey to determine the line's route, pole/tower locations, and required sag and tension calculations.

  2. Erection of Support Structures: The poles or towers are installed at the pre-determined locations. Our winches and lifting tackles are used to safely hoist and position these heavy structures.

  3. OHTLstringingequipment.com/Conductor-Stringing-Equipment.html target='_blank'>conductor stringing: This is a crucial step where the conductors are run between the support structures. Our hydraulic pullers and OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners are indispensable for this process, ensuring the conductor is installed with the correct tension to achieve the specified sag and maintain safe ground clearance.

  4. Hardware Installation and Final Connections: Once the conductors are in place, the hardware, such as clamps, connectors, and spacers, is installed to finalize the line.
