Synopsis

Essential guide to planning and building transmission lines, with cost-conscious methods This practical manual covers the engineering methods, layouts, and cost considerations for laying out and constructing transmission lines. It emphasizes early planning, route selection, and efficient use of right‑of‑way to balance cost with reliable service.

The book walks you through preliminary work, map preparation, field reconnaissance, and how to assess topography, population centers, roads, and existing lines. It also details structural choices—from wooden to reinforced concrete poles and towers—and the tradeoffs between different pole types, spans, and methods. In addition, it discusses insulators, hardware, and installation practices, with historical examples and data that illustrate how costs and design decisions impact project outcomes.

What you’ll experience

• Guidance on creating usable maps and data sets for route planning and field work.


• Strategies for locating routes that minimize right‑of‑way costs while ensuring reliable service.


• Concrete and wooden pole and tower design considerations, loads, and installation notes.


• Approaches to insulators, hardware, and basic transmission line components with practical cost insights.

Ideal for engineers, project managers, and contractors involved in transmission line development and construction in the early era of high‑voltage distribution.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
