New Powerline Construction (HV / EHV)

New powerline construction for HV and EHV networks is essential to expand transmission capacity, connect renewable energy sources, and strengthen cross-regional and cross-border grids. Such projects involve multiple complex stages, including foundation works, tower erection, conductor stringing, sagging, and final commissioning, often across long distances and challenging terrain.

Key challenges include limited access, environmental and permitting constraints, tight construction schedules, and the need for the highest safety standards when handling heavy loads and high tensions. At the same time, modern HV/EHV lines use larger conductors, bundled phases, and higher mechanical loads, requiring precise control throughout the stringing process. Advanced planning tools, improved materials, and digital monitoring support more efficient execution but also raise technical requirements on equipment.

This is where we support our customers. Our high-performance pulling and tensioning machines, stringing equipment, and modular systems are designed for accuracy, reliability, and safety—enabling efficient construction of HV and EHV powerlines, even under the most demanding conditions.

Typical use:

Complete conductor and ground wire stringing operations with controlled tension and safety. Applicable to HV/EHV powerlines, railway catenary systems and comparable suspended conductor installations.
