INTRODUCTION:
This overview contains information about electric transmission lines which are installed underground, rather than overhead on poles or towers. Underground cables have different technical requirements than overhead lines and have different environmental impacts. Due to their different physical, environmental, and construction needs, underground transmission generally costs more and may be more complicated to construct than overhead lines.

Types of Underground Electric Transmission Cables:
The common types of underground cable construction also include:
v High-pressure, fluid-filled pipe (HPFF)
v High-pressure, gas-filled pipe (HPGF)
v Self-contained fluid-filled (SCFF)
v Solid cable, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE)

High-Pressure, Fluid-Filled Pipe-Type Cable:
1. HPFF or HPGF Pipe-Type Cross Section:
Welded ExternallyCoated Steel Pipe
Pressurized Gas or Fluid(usually nitrogen orsynthetic oil at 200 psi
Segmented CopperConductor
Paper Insulation
Metallic Shield

2. High-Pressure, Gas-Filled Pipe-Type Cable:
3.Self-Contained, Fluid-Filled Pipe-Type:
4.Solid Cable, Cross-Linked Polyethylene:
Self-contained cables are laid either directly onto the bottom or into trenches. In crossing bodies of water, the ordinary plastic or lead covered cable is usually protected with a wrapping of tarred jute, and armored with galvanized-steel wire.

5. XLPE Cables with Different Voltages:

Ancillary Facilities:
1.Vaults:
345 kV XLPE project – Cement vault visible with two chimneys extending up to be level with the future roadsurface.
138 kV XLPE project – Bottom half of pre-constructed vault positioned in trench.

Construction of Underground Transmission
Installation of an underground transmission cable generally involves the following sequence of events:
1) ROW clearing,2) Trenching/blasting 3) Laying and/or welding pipe 4) Duct bank and vault installation 5) Backfilling6) Cable installation7) Adding fluids or gas, and8) Site restoration.
Many of these activities are conducted simultaneously so as to minimize the interference with street traffic.

Figures shows a typical installation sequence in a city street.

Costs:
Cable Repairs:
V One cable repair needed per year for every 833 miles of cable.
V One splice repair needed per year for every 2,439 miles of cable.
V One termination repair needed per year for every 359 miles of cable
A typical new 69 kV overhead single-circuit transmission line costs approximately $285,000 per mile as opposed to $1.5 million per mile for a new 69 kV underground line (without the terminals). A new 138 kV overhead line costs approximately $390,000 per mile as opposed to $2 million per mile for underground (without the terminals).
