What is the typical process for building a new overhead utility line?
2025-08-13The construction of a new overhead line is a complex, multi-stage process that requires precision and specialized equipment.
-
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.
-
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.

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.
-
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.
