Early 2019: Land surveying to define the easement areas and determine the easement rights that will be needed to construct, operate and maintain the transmission lines. This activity will continue through easement acquisition process
Aug. 2019: Easement acquisition activities for the project underway. Easement acquisition will continue through 2021.
Late 2019: Soil sampling (soil borings) to determine the soil properties for the design and engineering of transmission line structures. Soil borings and other field investigations will continue in 2020.
2020: Transmission line design process begins. Pole locations will be identified in 2020.
Summer 2021: Vegetation clearing followed by the installation of structures and wires.
2024: The new transmission lines will be completed and placed in service.
*Many of the activities associated with the design, engineering, and construction of the transmission lines may overlap and do not necessarily happen in a sequential manner over the entire distance of the project. These activities will occur in different locations at different times due to the size of the project and need to optimize the use of resources. Factors such as weather, availability of crews and equipment or unforeseen circumstances may impact the schedule.
The new lines will be built on single concrete or steel poles, about 90 to 110 feet tall.
