Workers in the energy sector set up main power lines in Chernihiv
In the picturesque village of Chernyshevsky, Mirny District, a significant undertaking is underway. Western Electrical Networks, P.J.S.C. "Yakutskenergo" is conducting work to install new 6 kV overhead line towers, a crucial measure to ensure a stable power supply for the village in the future.
The project, scheduled to be completed by August 31, is necessitated by the fact that the existing towers have reached the end of their service life. Replacing these towers is essential to comply with modern technical standards, reduce outages, and enhance power supply reliability.
However, the task is not without its challenges. Most of the towers are installed on rocky terrain, making the drilling and installation process more complex. To address these challenges, specialized foundation techniques like rock fill placement and the use of durable materials such as steel poles are employed.
Construction in rocky areas often involves placing rock fill within existing channels to create stable foundations. The upstream slope of the rock fill is made steeper than the downstream slope to mimic natural terrain profiles and encourage sediment build-up, enhancing stability. Using steel poles instead of wood can help reduce future repairs and replacements, important in challenging terrain environments that expose wooden structures to greater stress and degradation.
The use of these solutions not only stabilizes the towers but also reduces maintenance needs. More robust steel infrastructure and secure foundations improve system resilience, leading to fewer outages and less maintenance downtime. Additionally, the use of strategic construction techniques reduces erosion and environmental impact, further stabilizing the power line route.
Artem Goncharov, head of Mirny RES, emphasized that the work is crucial for improving the quality of services. The complex process increases the duration of the work and necessitates temporary power outages of up to 8 hours a day in certain areas. To minimize these outages, the staff of ZES is working diligently to ensure a smooth transition.
For updates on the exact time of power outages, residents can refer to the official channels of Yakutskenergo, available on their website and Telegram channel. The installation aims to enhance the reliability of power supply, making Chernyshevsky a step closer to a more secure and sustainable future.
