How will you ensure that the transmission lines ground wire, which mitigates the effects of lightning strikes, does not deteriorate?
In the design stage for the project, studies will be completed to identify the necessary protection (i.e., cathodic protection) to ensure the grounding does not deteriorate over time on these towers. Prior to construction of the line, AltaLink and EPCOR will develop a maintenance program that will ensure the integrity of the tower grounding.
