West Angelas 220kV Transmission Line

Overview

Genus was engaged to perform the fabrication, supply and installation of approximately 1.2km of single-circuit
220kV transmission l ine from the existing terminal tower at West Angelas 220/33kV substation to the landing gantry at the West Angelas Power Station.

The transmission line included the installation of 4 x steel lattice towers up to 42m including the construction of pad and chimney type foundations, construction of a new access track, assembly and erection of towers including electrical hardware and the installation of single circuit configuration conductors and OPGW.

The project faced significant interface issues as the site included several other work fronts within the proximity of the transmission line, which required daily coordination with all stakeholders.
