How do you ensure safety during overhead conductor stringing?
2025-08-08Safety is our highest priority. A robust safety plan is integral to every stringing operation. Key safety precautions include:
-
Pre-installation Safety Checks: A thorough site risk assessment before work begins, checking weather conditions, and inspecting all equipment for defects.
-
Grounding and Bonding: Proper grounding of all stringing equipment (pullers, OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners, OHTLstringingequipment.com/Reel-Stands--Cable-Winders.html target='_blank'>Reel Stands) and towers to prevent electrical hazards from induction or accidental contact with live lines.
-
Safe Clearance Distances: Maintaining a safe minimum clearance distance from existing live lines, as defined by local and national regulations.
-
Communication: Establishing a reliable communication network (e.g., walkie-talkies) between all personnel on-site, especially between the puller and Tensioner operators.
-
Personnel Training: Ensuring all workers are trained and certified in safe work practices, fall protection, and emergency procedures.
-
Equipment Inspection: Using high-quality, regularly inspected tools and equipment from a trusted manufacturer like Ningbo Changshi.
