Walkaway 132kV Powerline Replacement

Future Power WA in conjunction with our sister company Future Engineering and Communications was awarded this powerline replacement project in early 2020. The project consisted of replacement of 5.5 kilometres of 132kV transmission powerline across farmlands, native bush and a 1-kilometre-wide inaccessible valley.  The project entailed building a new monopole steel towered powerline alongside the existing timber pole powerline and then cutting over in three half day shutdowns. Future Power WA was given the aspects of tension aerial stringing of the overhead conductors including 37/3.75 AAC and 31/2.02 48S OPGW, coordinating and completing the cutover, then demolition of the existing line.
