City of New Orleans Gets a Big Upgrade

摘要

The success of Entergy's transmission project was aided by comprehensive communication with all stakeholders. New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S., is a city known for its food, history and culture. The streets of New Orleans are home to Mardi Gras parades, streetcar tracks, seafood restaurants and shotgun houses. Lining some of these streets is Entergy New Orleans' transmission infrastructure. The steel poles and wires have existed in place for decades and faded into the background of the busy urban environment. This is the way most transmission infrastructure exists in a busy city - until the poles need to be repaired or upgraded. It is then these 100-ft (30.5-m) poles and miles of wires become apparent and enter the forefront of everyone's mind.
