Power cable project sets 14 world records, was not for the meek of heart

摘要

China's ultra-large and advanced 500 kV ultra-high voltage power line in Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province, has been put into operation, setting all kinds of records. Per a report and photos here from Chinanews.com, the initiative by China's Zhejiang Electric Power Company - a subsidiary of the State Grid company - led to a cross-sea project that was made up of 16 subsidiary projects that cost some $683 million. Two 380-meter-tall pylons were constructed to carry power cables between Zhoushan's Jintang and Cezi islands, setting 10 world records for their giant sizes and huge project quantities.
