Construction on the Pikangikum Power
Line continues into July with PowerTel and their
subcontractors. This
month the first steel
poles will be
assembled and
placed to allow
stringing to
proceed. Previous
activities of material
delivery, structure
framing, pole setting
and anchor
installation continue
in July with the start
of stringing
activities. A new
parking expansion
was constructed at
Taxi Bay for
residents of
Pikangikum First
Nation. This allows
room for gravel trucks to haul for the
construction of the substation road.
The crews remain busy with structure
framing and assembly. The structures are
assembled by attaching the steel arms,
grounding wires and insulators. After each
structure is assembled, a setting crew digs an
excavation and installs each structure using a
crane or radial boom vehicle. July and August
will see a lot of activity stringing conductors
and shield wire. The stringing activity involves
pulling out special designed ropes which are
then used to pull out the conductor wires and
shield wires. Equipment on the ground each
end of the stringing activity keeps tension on
the ropes and conductor so that neither will
touch the ground during the work.
