Eversource X178-1 Line Rebuild Project
Project Segment: Beebe River to Whitefield
Project Overview
The Eversource X178-1 Line Rebuild Project is an initiative focused on modernizing and strengthening the electrical transmission infrastructure. This project segment involves the replacement and upgrade of existing power lines between Beebe River and Whitefield to ensure greater reliability, resilience, and capacity for the regional power grid.
Technical Specifications
The following table outlines key technical specifications for the upgraded transmission line:
| Parameter | Specification | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Line Designation | X178-1 | - |
| Voltage Class | 115 | kV |
| Conductor Type | High-capacity, weather-resistant | - |
| Pole Material | Steel or reinforced concrete | - |
| Estimated Route Length | [Approximate Length] | Miles/Kilometers |
| Environmental Standards | Adherence to all federal and state environmental regulations | - |
Construction methodologies will prioritize safety, efficiency, and minimal environmental impact. This includes advanced surveying techniques ?, precise material handling, and adherence to strict safety protocols.
Construction Permit Maps
The project is supported by detailed construction permit maps. These maps serve as essential visual guides for all stakeholders, delineating the precise path of the new transmission line and associated infrastructure. They identify:
- Route Alignment: The exact path of the new transmission line, including curves and straight sections.
- Easement Boundaries: Areas designated for the transmission line right-of-way.
- Existing Infrastructure: Location of current power lines, substations, and other utilities.
- Environmental Features: Wetlands, protected habitats, water bodies, and other sensitive environmental zones requiring special consideration ⚠️.
- Property Lines: Identification of adjacent land ownership for coordination purposes.
- Access Roads: Designated routes for construction vehicles and equipment.
- Construction Zones: Specific areas designated for active construction activities.
These maps are critical for regulatory compliance, land acquisition, and coordinating construction activities to minimize disruption.
Project Goals & Benefits
The primary goals of the X178-1 Line Rebuild Project include:
- Improved Reliability: Reducing the frequency and duration of power outages.
- Enhanced Capacity: Supporting current and future energy demands.
- Increased Resilience: Strengthening the grid against extreme weather events and other disturbances ⛈️.
- Modernization: Replacing aging infrastructure with state-of-the-art technology.
Successful completion of this project will benefit communities by ensuring a more stable and dependable power supply.
