Construction Challenges of Extra High Voltage Transmission Lines: Building in the Most Difficult Terrain in the World
Publication: Electrical Transmission and Substation Structures 2009: Technology for the Next Generation
Abstract
This Paper describes the challenges faced during the construction of EHV transmission lines which travel hundred of miles in difficult terrain, under varying and extreme environmental conditions using variety of construction equipment. The engineering challenges become much more difficult with higher voltages as structures become very tall and heavy. Every country has individual challenges which are unique to that country or region. Engineering solutions need to be suitable to overcome working challenges which are described throughout the paper.
