A Line in the Sand – 750km of HVDC Overhead Line
If you think about some of the most exciting projects underway in the world today, then the Australia-Asia Powerlink (AAPL) project in Western Australia is high on the list. This is such an exciting opportunity on the renewables stage.
Tower Testing During a Pandemic: 220kV Double Circuit Tower Family
In 2019 Groundline were awarded the contract to develop, fabricate, prototype build and test a 220kV double circuit tower family suite for Tas Networks. These towers would then be used as standard structures for use on TasNetworks transmission network.
The transformative advantages of specifying and installing Covered Conductor as an alternative to bare wire overhead lines is well understood, and particularly so in climates that are subject to acute wildfire risk and in geographies and communities that are exposed to an amplified risk to life and property.
Digging and drilling into otherwise sound poles is time-consuming, damaging and dangerous. We’ve developed a better, non-invasive way of testing poles that saves time and money, and we call it THOR.
Working with Swedish company Amokabel, we've developed a way to dramatically reduce the risk of wildfires sparked from power lines. Our covered conductor offers a safe, low-cost solution that performs in extreme environments.
