How do the installation processes and required equipment differ for each system?
2025-08-13The installation methodologies for overhead and underground lines are completely different, and each requires a specialized set of tools and machinery.
-
overhead line Installation: This process is centered on stringing conductors at precise tensions over long distances. Our Overhead Transmission line equipment is essential for this. Key tools include:
-
Hydraulic Puller and OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioner Machines: Used to pull conductors and ensure the correct sag and tension.
-
Conductor OHTLstringingequipment.com/Stringing-Blocks--Sheaves.html target='_blank'>Stringing Blocks and Gin Poles: For supporting conductors and structures.
-
Conductor Grips and Insulated Tools: To safely handle and secure the conductors at height.
-
-
underground Line Installation: This process focuses on laying and protecting cables beneath the surface. Our Underground cable laying Equipment is purpose-built for this application. Key tools include:
-
Cable Pulling Winches and Pushers: For feeding heavy cables through trenches and conduits.
-
cable rollers and Stands: To support and guide the cable during installation.
-
Cable Cutters and Crimping Tools: For precise cable preparation and termination.
