No Outage Electrical Testing recently wrapped up a successful transmission line hardening project, focusing on comprehensive aerial inspections along a critical corridor. Our team’s mission was to proactively identify vulnerabilities and assure grid reliability—without disrupting service.
Our fieldwork targeted several key areas:
– **Conductor issues**: We inspected and photographed every span, paying close attention to areas where strands appeared busted, frayed, or weakened. Pinpointing these issues early helps prevent failures and unplanned outages.
– **Line hardware**: All supporting hardware was found to be in solid condition—no significant corrosion or mechanical defects that might compromise structural integrity.
– **Static line**: We confirmed the static/grounding line remained intact and free of visible wear, ensuring the system retained its vital lightning protection function.
– **Insulators and dampers**: Insulators showed no signs of flashover or tracking, and all vibration dampers were securely installed and effective, helping extend conductor life.
A special thanks to our crews and partners for their safe execution and commitment to detail, leveraging drone imagery and field expertise to keep power flowing reliably. Projects like this are central to #GridHardening and building a resilient, future-ready energy infrastructure.
