- Installed 0.5 miles of 3-phase bundled 954 ACSR conductor, and 7#8 Alumoweld Static wire
Lean, Innovative, and Unique Project Solutions
The Cianbro team installed the 138 kV transmission line while the adjacent 345 kV circuit remained energized. Additionally, due to very limited construction access on the 138 kV conductor installation, the majority of work activities were performed with a helicopter including hanging blocks, pulling ropes, installing splices, dead ends, sagging conductor, installing new hardware and clipping in, and removing blocks.
