Training Of Young Engineers On Overhead Power Transmission Line Construction

Who needs this training

Areas We Can Improve In Overhead Line Construction Site Management

Many project managers are not good man-managers and are responsible for high attrition in many organizations Project managers feel that sub-contractor would run the project the our job is just coordinating the teams. Many project managers do not have skills required for effective communication including Report Writing, Letter Writing, IOM, E-mails, and Public Notices Frequent explanations/ justifications of managers of project that got delayed ROW is not our problem and customer is not helping us. Hence the delay I dont get co-operation from HO and my subordinates Customer is not reasonable and rejects the material because the specification is not adhered to We dont have copies of the technical documents and have to follow what the customer says Safety is the look out of sub-contractors. We cant afford to buy safety apparels for contract labor

What Many Project Managers Do Not Know

There are 5 Indian standards for conductors whereas there are more than 19 ASTM codes for overhead transmission line conductors ACSS is a conductor can work at operating temperature as much as 200oC without loosing its properties A 132kv tower can be used for 220kv by changing conductor and cross arms without changing the tower foundation Hand held GPS has error to the extent of 30m UTM coordinates are conversion of Latitude and Longitude of a point to X and Y coordinates for plotting Measuring temperature by hanging a thermometer on a tower is wrong way of selecting sagging temperature while stringing Facilities in most common mobile phone can be used for checking the tension in the conductor The biggest overhead power transmission line span in the world is 5.3km
