The world's power grids are aging, and rising temperatures due to climate change are placing additional stress on overhead conductors. This can lead to increased sag, reduced current-carrying capacity (derating), and accelerated material degradation, which in turn increases the risk of outages.

Our professional answer:

The challenges of aging infrastructure and climate change require forward-thinking solutions. Our company is at the forefront of providing the tools and equipment for modern grid upgrades. A key innovation is the use of High-Temperature Low-Sag (HTLS) conductors, such as Aluminum Conductor Composite Core (ACCC) or other gap-type conductors. These conductors are engineered with a special core that has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, allowing them to operate at much higher temperatures without significant sag. This allows utility companies to:

• Increase line capacity without building new towers.

• Improve reliability by reducing the risk of sag-related flashovers.

• Extend asset life and minimize costly maintenance.

Our specialized conductor tensioning and sagging equipment is perfectly suited for the precise installation of these advanced conductors.
