New Route Design
Surveyed and set out the diversion corridor to clear planned infrastructure works.
SOTTA 33kV overhead line diversion
Construction of a 1,007.8m diversion, transfer of supply and removal of the previous line.
Project Overview
33kV line diversion at Nyanzaga
KELM constructed a new 33kV overhead line to divert supply away from an existing corridor affected by infrastructure development. The work included route surveying, new line construction, switching coordination and removal of the previous line.
The new route was completed, tested and integrated before the previous poles, conductors and hardware were safely removed.
