Discussion
Recommendation to purchase poles to upgrade the Whitestone - Blockhouse - Leander transmission line to bundled 795 ACSR 138kV. The project will include the rebuild of 5.4 miles of line with 55 galvanized steel transmission poles. The transmission line upgrade improves the existing line by increasing the capacity, adding optical ground wire fiber to improve communications and reliability, and allowing an additional transmission line to be installed on the same structures.
