What are the key stages of overhead line construction and what equipment is needed?
2025-08-13overhead line construction is a complex process that is broken down into several key stages, each requiring specialized equipment.
-
Surveying and Foundation: The first stage involves surveying the route and building the foundations for the supporting towers or poles.
-
Erection of Supports: Next, the poles or towers are erected using lifting and rigging tools, such as winches and cranes.
-

-
Hydraulic Puller: A powerful machine that pulls the conductor into position.
-
Hydraulic OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioner: This machine applies a controlled back-tension to ensure the conductor is installed with the exact sag and tension required.
-
Stringing Blocks: Pulleys that are installed on the towers to support the conductor as it is pulled, preventing damage.
-
-
Final Sagging and Clamping: Once the conductors are in place, they are "sagged" to their final tension and then secured to the insulators with clamps and other hardware.
-
Final Checks and Safety: The final stage involves verifying all connections and implementing safety protocols, such as earthing the line.
We provide a complete suite of equipment for all of these stages, offering a one-stop supply solution to ensure your project's success from start to finish.
