Split 138 kV/345 kV Barehand Transmission Line Rebuild Texas

A $130M+ 345 kV Barehand Transmission Line Rebuild Through Texas Hill Country

Pike is completing 17.5 miles of 345kV barehand rebuild that includes installing 102 structures through rugged Texas Hill Country terrain, 39 of which include drilled shaft foundations. The project also involves extensive grading throughout the ROW. Pike has helped to develop a plan to safely execute this project within the project milestones. Pike is installing all 102 structures, pulling 17.5 miles of 1433 ACSS Merrimack conductor, and installing 17.5 miles of OPGW.

RESULTS

Specialized construction planning and foundation design for Hill Country conditions and to minimize system disruption
Scope included right-of-way preparation and extensive grade and access work across a challenging topography
