Work is under progress and the height of the transmission line conductor will be increased
At present, the height of high voltage transmission power line is 6.5 metres, which is dangerous for the zoo animals.
Work is under progress and the height of the transmission line conductor will be increased to 21 metres, chief engineer (Transmission) HN Prasad said.
The corporation is using a new technology for the purpose. “Due to space constraints, we are using a monopole (single pole) technology instead of a tower. Monopoles can be installed in small spaces and still ensure the wire are installed at a desired height. With the increased height of the power line over the zoo, we can assure the safety of animals,” said Prasad.
