MERCURY DRIVE LINE RELOCATION
This project
consisted of the relocation of 0.5 miles of single circuit overhead
distribution line for a road widening project. This recently
reconductored line was transferred to new poles with alley-arm style
construction. The conductor transfer was completed with no
customer outages and was faster and less expensive than new line
construction. Removal of several large hardwoods was required for
both the line construction and road widening. GRP Engineering
& GHBL&P staff obtained permission from the adjacent property
owners and distribution line relocation was completed ahead of the
proposed road construction schedule.
Engineering services included:
• Conceptual design & cost estimating
• Distribution line design
• Tree clearing coordination
• Staking sheets
• Layout & assembly drawings
• Material procurement
• Construction staking
• Construction inspection
