Stringing Methods and Verification

摘要

The purpose of this paper is to present the different methods of stringing and how they can be used in PLS-CADD to confirm proper stringing was performed by construction. This paper briefly describes the transit method, using a dynamometer and use of the wave return method in order to verify the sag of a wire. It also touches on the importance of the contractor recording the measurements from the chosen method and supplying these records back to the engineer for verification in PLS-CADD. The paper next explains how LiDAR can be used to check the As-Built conditions and the limitations of this method. Through discussing the various methods for checking sag, different approaches are proposed on how to best create a PLS-CADD As-Built model that more accurately matches in the field conditions.
