Overhead Transmission Line Design (In Person)

Course Overview

This four-day course provides a comprehensive overview of transmission line  engineering fundamentals. Each day covers specific tasks relating to line design.  For example, in the structure spotting session, participants review the information  necessary to perform structure spotting and design a section of line. In the  structure types session, participants examine various materials and configurations  for transmission structures and evaluate alternate structure types in a project based case study. Participants will apply the principles learned through design  examples and case studies. Each session incorporates insights from recent experience on a range of projects, including new overhead and underground lines and upgrades to existing lines.

Who Should Attend

Utility engineers, project managers, and other professionals involved in transmission line projects, as well as entry-level engineers or experienced professionals new to this area of the electric utility industry.

32 Professional Development Hours

Participants receive a certificate of completion and one professional development  hour (PDH) for every hour of classroom instruction. Refer to specific state requirements for applicable PDH credits.
