General requirements for OHTLs - S23101E1
17.9.2012
1 General requirements for overhead lines
2 General design requirements for overhead lines
1 General requirements for overhead lines
The construction of overhead transmission lines including other works specified in the Contract program
shall be carried out according to the design requirements, material and quality standards and work methods
of this specification.
Prior to construction the Client has contracted out the general design of transmission line. The results of this
work are presented in the set of project specific General Design Documents (further referred as GDD) being
part of the Tender documents. Survey of the transmission line route and support spotting are presented as a
part of GDD and also the number of supports is defined. Support places are fixed and whenever changes to
support spotting are needed those shall be documented with relevant calculations and drawings and
presented to the Client for acceptance.
The longitudinal profile is drawn in scale 1:200 in the vertical and in scale 1:2000 in the horizontal direction.
The route map is drawn in scale 1:2000 covering 50 m on both sides of the longitudinal line. When the side
slope is more than 1:25, the difference is shown at the distances of 6 m (110 kV) and 10 m (400 kV) (left
and right sides) from the longitudinal profile.
The Contractor shall verify correctness of the support spotting and make profile check survey, when
needed. Length of the supports and possibly supports with leg length difference are shown also in support
list. Design of leg difference is tentative.
The Contractor shall be fully responsible for correctness and suitability of all design including preliminary
design made by the Client, and all design shall comply with this specification, laws and regulations. All
design calculations and drawings shall be submitted to the Client for approval.
2 General design requirements for overhead lines
The line must be designed and constructed according to the provisions and laws valid in Finland for 50
years effective service period. The design principles of overhead lines are shown in European Standard
SFS-EN 50341-1 Overhead electrical lines exceeding AC 45 kV , Part 1: General requirements - Common
specifications and SFS-EN 50341-3-7 Overhead electrical lines exceeding AC 45 kV, Part 3-7: National
Normative Aspects (NNA) for Finland. Further on in this Specification is used as a reference to EN 50341
both a.m. parts of the standard and all standards referred in and related to them. The following provisions
and laws give orders concerning the construction and spotting of a high voltage overhead line:
Electricity Market Act and Decree (Shkmarkkinalaki ja -asetus, 386/1995 ja 518/1995)
Electrical Safety Act and Decree (Shkturvallisuuslaki ja -asetus, 410/1996 ja 498/1996)
Decision of Ministry of Trade and Industry on Safety of electrical installations (KTMp 1193/1999
shklaitteistojen turvallisuudesta)
Act on Land Use and Construction (Maankytt- ja rakennuslaki 132/1999,128 maisematylupa)
Act of Expropriation (Lunastuslaki, 603/1977)
The Nature Conservation Act and Decree (Luonnonsuojelulaki, 1096/1996, ja -asetus 160/1997)
Antiquity Act (Muinaismuistolaki, 17.6.1963/295)

Instructions given by the Finnish State Railways on this issue
Unless otherwise specified, all material supplied and all workmanship and tests shall be in accordance with
these technical specifications, or with the following standards. If the standards give inconsistent information,
the precedence shall be as follows:
Uniform European standards (SFS-EN standards)
SFS standards corresponding to IEC standards
IEC standards and publications of the CEE
Other SFS standards
In the absence of international standards or SFS standards, the standards of the manufacturer's
country, if there is no conflict with the SFS 6001 and SFS 6002
In all cases, the Contractor shall inform the Client in the Tender which standards are followed for the
materials, workmanship and tests. If standards are not written in Finnish or English, the Contractor shall
make available copies of Finnish or English translation.
If the design carried out by the Contractor needs communication with the authorities or technical
permissions for railway crossings, waterway crossings or high support for example, these are included in
Contractor's work. All permanent permissions, contracts and completion notices shall be applied in the
name of the Client.
The Contractor is responsible to correct free of charge any design mistakes or faults, which are found during
the construction.
In all respects, the generally accepted requirements and commonly recognised good practice for first-class
design are to be adhered to. Each part of the overhead line to be supplied by the Contractor shall be of
such construction and design as to ensure long and continuous service with high economy and low
maintenance costs during the entire service life (50 years) of the line.
