Transmission Lines Pose a Design Challenge for Alternative Power Construction

As more alternative power facilities are built, access to the grid will become an increasing concern for owners — especially in the design of transmission lines. Overhead lines are the tried and true method of moving power, but underground lines are the latest trend in keeping the power market “green.”  While underground lines may pose obstacles for owners, proper planning, engineering and equipment can make this a feasible transmission option for owners.
