How to construct OHTL (220Kv or 500Kv):-

I. Engineering Works:-

1. Collect the surveying maps for the area which the route path through in.
2. Draw 2 or 3 proposal routes on the surveying maps.
3. After studying all the proposal routs Chose the suitable route of the OHTL
and approved it.
4. Carrying out the survey works for the route.
5. Preparing the line profile for the route.
6. Design of the OHTL based on the line profile to determine tower types and
the height of each tower.
7. Carrying out tower Spotting.
8. Carrying out Soil investigation for each 1 or 2 km and at each angle tower.
9. Carrying out the site and laboratory tests for soil samples for each hole.
10.Preparing the soil investigation report based on the results of sample testes
indicating the recommendation of foundation types.
11.Preparing the design calculations and the executive drawings for each tower
type Based on the soil investigation report and the loads which to be acted
on the towers.
12.Carrying out the mix design for both PCC and RCC.
13.Carrying out all testes which to be required such as:-
a. Concrete Materials tests (mechanical and chemical tests).
b. Concrete testes (cubes and core test if it is required).
c. Type test for the towers (if it is required).
d. Type testes for Conductor & earth wire & optic fiber & Insulators and
fittings (if it is required).

II. Civil Works:-

1. Carrying out access Roads for the towers.

2. Carrying out Platforms for the towers which located in lakes or fish ponds.
3. Dewatering Works for the tower location.
4. Excavation works for the tower footings.
5. Replacement Materials for the tower footings (if it is required).
6. Carrying out the Plain Concrete.
7. Erection and adjustment of Stub angles for each tower by using template or
props.
8. fabrication and Erection of Steel Reinforcement and Shuttering for tower
footings.
9. Carrying out the Reinforced Concrete for Footings (Bad & Chimney).
10.Carrying out the curing of the reinforced concert by water or any curing
material approved by the designer.
11.Carrying out the painting of the reinforced concrete surface.
12.Carrying out the backfilling for the tower footings.

III. Erection works:-

1. Transporting of tower steel from the port to the stockyard.

2. Transporting the tower steel from the stockyard to the tower locations.
3. Sorting, Laying and assembling the steel members as a sections.
4. Erecting of the steel of tower by using derrick or lift crane.
5. Tightening of bolts by using the Turk winch.
6. Erection of the ant clamping devices, warning and numerical Plates after
complete the stringing works.

IV. Stringing works:-

1. Transporting of the insulators, fittings, Conductors, optic fiber and earth

wire from the port to stockyard.
2. Transporting of the insulators, fittings, conductors, optic fiber and earth wire
from the stockyard to tower location.
3. Laying, assembling and erecting of the insulator strings for the suspension
towers.
4. Erection of the insulter strings for suspension towers.
5. Erection of suspension drums for suspension towers.
6. Laying and suspension the nylon rope on the suspension drums.
7. Pulling the nylon rope pilot wire and the conductor by using the stringing
machines.
8. Fixing of sag board and sag sighting instrument on the towers.
9. Carrying out mid span joint for the conductor by using press machine.
10.Tension of conductors and adjusting the sagging based on the tension and
sagging chart.
11.Carrying out dead end clamp by using press machine.
12.Erection of tension insulator strings.
13.Erection of suspension clamps.
14.Erection of spacers and vibration dumpers.
15.Erection of the warning spheres on the earth wire.
16.Commissioning and testing.
