Cost Estimation O/H lines (4kV and 13.8kV)
Cost Estimation O/H lines (4kV and 13.8kV)
(OP)
Can anyone give an estimate or ballpark amount per mile (or km) for overhead line at 4.16kV and 13.8kV? (Capital + installation.)
I know it is tough, so many variables including location, terrain, but I just want a rough guide. Assume ACSR, pole mounted line just running along side of a road. No transformer, or additional equipment.
Is there any resource, books etc that have this sort of info?
Would be super helpful when I need to give a dollar amount for installations like this.
Thanks,
Majesus

Really way too many variables for a "back of the envelope" number to be given here.

Will make some calls.

Keep in mind that a single 40 foot pole is running at least $1000--just to purchase it...you can rough out the numbers with a bit of research on line. Go to alcoa's website to get the conductor cost. Figure a four man crew can put in maybe three or four poles a day and you can see what the labor costs start to look like. Labor is a surprisingly large component of line construction costs these days it seems...

This is going up in the North, after talking to a few contractors, and with terrain. I had a "planning figure" of $100/m ($160.9k /mile).
Glad to get the extra info Tlrols,
