115 kV Transmission Reconductoring & Distribution Underbuild Reconfiguration
This project included reconductoring approximately two miles of existing 115 kV transmission line and reconfiguring the distribution underbuild crossing the Sacramento River. The work required careful coordination to maintain service reliability while replacing conductors and modifying the existing line configuration in a complex river crossing environment.
Full Scope of Work
Transmission Line Work
- Reconductoring of approximately two miles of existing 115 kV transmission line.
- Replacement of conductors within the existing transmission corridor.
Distribution Reconfiguration
- Reconfiguration of the distribution underbuild crossing the Sacramento River.
System Coordination
- Work sequencing required careful coordination to maintain service reliability during conductor replacement and line reconfiguration.
