Five Mile to Homer Hill Reconductor Project

Transmission Construction | Olean, NY

Scope of Work

The Five Mile to Homer Hill reconductoring project included reconductoring the double circuit 152/167 115kV transmission lines for approximately 14.4 circuit miles with 795 kcmil “Drake” conductor. Installed 7.2 miles of one 3/8 inch EHS shield-wire and 7.2 miles of one OPGW. Also included was the installation of 45 double circuit wood structures, 10 single circuit steel pole structures, and reinforcing of 5 lattice towers. Due to outage restrictions, all structures were replaced under energized conditions by 3Phase Live Line Team using barehand work methods.
