Construction Techniques

In general, it can be stated that there are no specific differences between the construction of conventional lines and that of compact lines. The same general techniques are used for stringing, erecting supports, or completing the civil works, irrespective of the pole spacing. The differences can be found in the particular design of the line components (tower/pole, bundle configuration, cross-arms, fittings…). It is thus suggested that each line construction be dealt with on a case-by-case basis, as is normally the case for a conventionally spaced line design.
