 b) After 14 days of curing
Built-up method:- This method consist of erection of
towers member by member. The 4 main leg members of
first section of the tower are first erected and guyed of. The
cross braces then assembled. For assembling second section
a light gin pole is placed on top of the corner legs for
raising the second section of the tower. Afterwards the gin
pole is shifted to top of second section leg to raise third
section this process is continued till complete tower is
erected.
Section method :-
Major sections of the tower are assembled on the
ground and same are erected as units.
Either mobile crane or gin pole of 10m long is
used.
Ground assembly(Proto) :-

This method consist of assembling the tower on

ground and erecting it as a complete unit. The
complete tower is assembled in line wise position
to allow Xarms to fitted. After assembly is
completed tower is picked up from ground with
the help of crane and carried to is location and
set on its foundation.
This method is not is useful when the towers
are large and heavy and the locations are
difficult.
Helicopter method :-

In this method the tower is erected in section.

Bottom section is first lifted on to the stub and
then the upper section is lifted and bolted to first
section and the process is repeated till the tower
is erected. Some times complete assembled tower
is raised with the help of helicopter. This method
is adopted when approach is impossible.

6. By connecting the other end to LEPTY do the rough sag by
pulling with tractor/tensioner and see that conductors
are lifted In all spans by hand height.

400m lengths with four sheave pulleys on either end.

7. Common problem is BARD CAGING

Final tension /Stringing

T&P required:-

1. Leg winch
2. Sag boards
3. 100 MT joint compressor with die sets
suitable for panther, Zebra Moose and earth
wire.
4. Earth wire flat clamps
5. D shackles 16mm/25mm
6. Binoculars
7. Tractor / Tension puller
8. Travelling speed will be 5 8 KM per hour.
9. if speed is low causes swinging of traveler and insulator
hardware and higher speed cause damage.

10. Tension load will be around 2000 2500 Kgs

11. For 3rd crossarm stringing tension will be 500 Kgs
12. For 400 KV pilot wire and tensioner is used. First pilot
wire will be passed through the entire reach with Tractor.
Conductor is winded on Tensioner. Pilot wire is knotted to
conductor. The other end of pilot wire is connected to
Puller.slowly puller load applied and tensioner is releasing
the conductor without any problem and make up at this with
STH. Once paving is completed again load Tensioner till sag
point and guyed. Then by Lepty and Tractor make marking
and cater the end.
13. Measurement of sag with equal supports use sag boards
between the two towers of sag span

14. Measurement of sag where supports are at different height

or single spans. Use Dynamo meter for tension readings

15. Sagging section length should not exceed 5KM or 15 spans

16. Physical measurement of ground clearance on roads and

important places.

Any departures from the correct sag in any span
does not exceed 4 percent.

The sag of any conductor does not depart by

more than 3% from the mean sag of all the
conductors in the same span subject of a
maximum of 150mm.
i) BACK TENSION OF BOTH THE TENSION TOWERS OF SAG SECTION IS MOST
IMPORTANT. PROVIDE BACK TENSION BY PAID OUT CONDUCTOR OF THE NEXT
ADJACENT SECTION OF BOTH TENSION TOWERS.

ii) BACK TENSION ON THE TOWER WITH GUY WIRE SHOULD BE AVOIDED.

iii) IF REQUIRED PREPARE A SCHEME AND GOT IT APPROVED BY THE TECHNICAL CELL.

iv) GUY WIRE CAPACITY SHOULD BE 1 TIMES OF MAXIMUM TENSION OF THE

CONDUCTORS.

v) INSPECT THOROUGHLY THE CONDITION OF GUY WIRES BEFORE USED.

vi) GUY FIXING ANGLE SHOULD BE BETWEEN 45 o TO 50 o TO THE VERTICAL.

vii) GUY BLOCKING ARRANGEMENT SHOULD BE VERY CAREFULLY DONE.

viii) RESPONSIBLE PERSONS SHOULD BE DEPLOYED DURING ENTIRE SAGGING

OPERATION.

ix) MEN ON BACK STAY SHOULD BE PROVIDED WITH APPROPRIATE WHISTLE AND
COMMUNICATION.

x) MEN ON BACK STAY SHOULD BE IN CONSTANT TOUCH WITH FINAL SAGGING

PERSON.
xi) ANY WHISTLE OR COMMUNICATION FROM THE PERSON AT BACK STAY, STRINGING
SHOULD BE STOPPED.

xii) IF NECESSARY CONDUCTOR SHOULD BE RELEASED TO DE-TENSION.

xiii) FINAL SAGGING SHOULD BE DONE AS PER APPROVED SAG TENSION CHART.

xiv) ANY CHANGES IN THE SECTION, SPAN MADE DURING THE CONSTRUCTION THE SAG
TENSION CHART SHOULD BE GOT CORRECTED.

xv) THE PERSON IN-CHARGE OF FINAL SAGGING SHOULD HAVE COPIES OF FINAL
PROFILES, SAG TENSION CHART, FINAL TOWER SCHEDULE, SAG TEMPLATE, PROPER
RECORDING REGISTER, FORMATS, ALL DRAWINGS OF HARDWARE AND ACCESSORIES.

xvi) TWO THERMOMETERS SHOULD BE CLAMPED ON THE TOWER IN ADVANCE ON THE

SAG SPAN.

xvii) TEMPERATURE SHOULD BE CONSTANTLY MONITORED.

xviii) NECESSARY CORRECTION OF SAG BOARD SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE FINAL MARKING
OF CONDUCTOR.

xix) ADEQUATE AND PROPER COMMUNICATION SHOULD BE AVAILABLE AT ALL POINTS

CONTROLLING SAG AND BACK TENSION POINT.
xi) ALL EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE LOAD TESTED BEFORE FINAL SAGGING
OPERATION PLANNED.

xii) USE SUITABLE DYNAMOMETERS TO CROSS CHECK SAG, SHORTER SPAN, HILLY
TERRAIN.

xiii) CHECK CONSTANTLY EVENNESS OF THE BUNDLE CONDUCTOR.

xiv) KEEP CONSTANT CHECK ON THE MOVEMENT OF AERIAL ROLLER TO ENSURE

INTERMEDIATE SPAN ALSO REACHED TO DESIRED SAG.

xv) IN CASE ANY CONDUCTOR IS PULLED ABOVE SAG IN THE SAG SPAN THEN
RELEASE BOTH THE CONDUCTORS TO BRING DOWN BELOW SAG AND BRING
EVENNESS AND THEN RE-SAGGED.

xvi) AVOID FINAL SAGGING IN WINDY DAYS, OTHER WISE ALLOWANCE IS TO BE

GIVEN FOR UPLIFT.

xvii) ALLOWANCE GIVING IS NOT DESIRABLE SINCE IT DEPENDS ON THE WIND AND
EXPERIENCE.

xviii) SPECIFIC CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN IN MEASURING FINALLY SAGGED

CONDUCTOR BEFORE CUTTING & COMPRESSING THE DEAD END CLAMP.
i) KEEP THE CONDUCTOR FINALLY SAGGED FOR 48HRS ON ROLLER.

ii) AGAIN CHECK THE SAG AND RE-ADJUST IT IF NECESSARY.

iii) KEEP SUSPENSION STRING ABSOLUTE VERTICAL.

iv) PLUMB MARK THE CONDUCTOR BEFORE REMOVING ROLLER BY MEANS

OF A PLUMB OR PLUMB MARKER MADE FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSE.

v) THEN THE CONDUCTOR SHOULD BE LIFTED BY MEANS OF A SUITABLE

LIFTING DEVICE.

vi) LIFTING DEVICE MAY CONSIST OF ONE OR TWO HOOKS DEPENDING

UPON NUMBER OF CONDUCTORS.

vii) AFTER LIFTING THE CONDUCTOR FIX PREFORMED ARMOUR RODS.

viii) TAKE 2 OR 3 RODS ON EACH SIDE OF THE CENTRE MARK SUCH THAT
THE HAND WILL NOT BE MORE THAN ONE OR TWO PITCH LENGTHS
AWAY FROM THE CENTRE MARK.
ix) THE CENTRE MARK OF THE RODS SHOULD BE LOCATED AT THE CENTRE
MARK OF THE CONDUCTOR SUPPORT.

x) APPLY THE RODS BY ROTATING ABOUT CONDUCTOR CONTINUING FROM 1

OR 2 PITCH LENGTH OF EITHER SIDE OF THE CENTRE.

xi) FIX ARMOUR ROD APPLYING SPIRAL MOTION OF THE HANDS UNTIL THEIR

ii) LIFTING DEVICE SHOULD BE FIXED IN SUCH A MANNER SO THAT LIFTING

LOAD IS TRANSFERRED TO TOWER BODY.

iii) AVOID POINTED LIFTING LOAD ON THE TIP OF CROSS ARM.

iv) LIFTING HOOK SHOULD HAVE A RUBBER OR NEOPRENE LINING.

v) MATCH THE CENTRE OF THE ARMOUR ROD WITH CENTRE MARK OF THE
SUSPENSION POINT.

vi) FIX VIBRATION DAMPERS OR SPACER DAMPER IMMEDIATELY SINCE THE

CONDUCTOR AT FULL LOAD / CRITICAL TENSION.

vii) FIX LINE SPACER IMMEDIATELY FOR BUNDLE CONDUCTOR TO AVOID

CLASHING OF CONDUCTOR.
i) MEASURE THE EXACT JUMPER LENGTH REQUIRED FOR EACH
TENSION TOWER.

ii) CHECK THE JUMPER DEPTH, ANGLE AS GIVEN IN THE

ELECTRICAL CLEARANCE DIAGRAM.

iii) PRESS THE JUMPER CONE AND FIX ON THE TOWER.
