New Route Design
Surveyed and set out the diversion corridor to clear planned infrastructure works.
SOTTA 33kV overhead line diversion
A new 1,007.8m corridor constructed and transferred while managing the safe removal of the existing line.
Project Overview
Re-routing live infrastructure around site development
KELM constructed a new 33kV overhead line to divert supply away from an existing corridor affected by infrastructure development. The assignment required precise route surveying, new line construction, switching coordination, demolition and restoration.
The new route was completed, tested and integrated before the previous poles, conductors and hardware were safely removed.
