Dado que un tramo de la l\u00ednea estar\u00eda fuera de servicio durante la duraci\u00f3n del proyecto, identificaron los reguladores necesarios para dar soporte a la subestaci\u00f3n y los instalaron un mes antes del inicio del proyecto para garantizar el suministro el\u00e9ctrico a sus miembros.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Una vez finalizados los preparativos, los t\u00e9cnicos de l\u00ednea a\u00e9rea comenzaron un proceso de dos partes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Primero, el helic\u00f3ptero transporta a los t\u00e9cnicos hasta cada estructura, retira el equipo antiguo y extrae el cable est\u00e1tico. Gran parte del cable antiguo ten\u00eda m\u00faltiples empalmes, en algunos casos m\u00e1s de 20, debido a la ca\u00edda de \u00e1rboles y ramas sobre la l\u00ednea en el pasado. Estos incidentes no fueron la raz\u00f3n principal del reemplazo, pero s\u00ed un factor que contribuy\u00f3 a ello.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHay que evaluar el estado general de toda la l\u00ednea, no solo el cable est\u00e1tico\u201d, dijo Steven Jones, gerente s\u00e9nior de proyectos de Hoosier Energy. \u201cPero dado que el equipo ingl\u00e9s hab\u00eda realizado mucho mantenimiento en esta l\u00ednea a lo largo de los a\u00f1os, y la mayor\u00eda de los postes hab\u00edan sido reemplazados, no se justificaba una reconstrucci\u00f3n completa de la l\u00ednea. Sin embargo, las muestras del cable est\u00e1tico que tomamos dieron resultados deficientes, por lo que requer\u00eda atenci\u00f3n\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Durante el proceso de retirada del antiguo cable, se detectaron algunas estructuras que no eran seguras para el aterrizaje y que requer\u00edan ser reemplazadas. Se trataba de estructuras que ya hab\u00edan sido examinadas anteriormente, pero que presentaban da\u00f1os ocultos en la parte superior.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEso oblig\u00f3 a los equipos de English y Petersburg a movilizarse para cambiar r\u00e1pidamente esas estructuras sin retrasar nada\u201d, dijo Jones. \u201cSin duda, aprendimos la lecci\u00f3n\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Una vez instaladas las estructuras en buen estado y retirado el antiguo cable est\u00e1tico, los t\u00e9cnicos realizaron una segunda pasada por las 95 estructuras para instalar el nuevo cable est\u00e1tico, restaurar los componentes y unir las l\u00edneas.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Y as\u00ed, los linieros voladores desaparecieron en las alas del viento. Cu\u00e1ndo volver\u00e1n, est\u00e1 por verse.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTenemos otros proyectos en los que no tiene sentido utilizar el helic\u00f3ptero, pero si surge la oportunidad y se ajusta a una necesidad como en este caso, tenemos otra herramienta a nuestra disposici\u00f3n\u201d, dijo Jones.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s a bird, it\u2019s a plane, it\u2019s \u2026 flying linemen? &nbsp; If you were in the right place at the right time near a 12-mile stretch of transmission lines between"},"author":7,"featured_media":25676,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25674","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-spotlight-stories","category-18","description-off"],"acf":false,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
