ARMLESS CONSTRUCTION REDUCES ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF TRANSMISSION LINES

, and .
(1981)

Abstract

Compact transmission lines using line post or HORIZONTAL VEE® insulators have proved to be environmentally acceptable in the United States and other countries of the world. Compaction reduces the total profile of the line, thus lowering visual impact, reduces the height and size of individual structures by the way loads are introduced into them, and makes very efficient use of the land and right-of-way (r-o-w). The paper discusses the technique of accomplishing the design and construction of compact lines and describes the wide variety of applications that have been installed to date. It al so defines the environmental constraints that existed at the point of installation, as well as general costs.
