    Design of Transmission Lines, Structures, and Foundations

    February 28March 4, 2011 in Orlando, Florida

    November 711, 2011 in Madison, Wisconsin

    Learn How to Design New

    Transmission Facilities and

    Upgrade Existing OnesA comprehensive design guide

    At this technical course you will learn thelatest criteria and practical techniques forthe design of transmission line structuresand their foundations. You will study varioustypes of supporting structures, includingwood, concrete, and tubular and latticedsteel. You will also learn about conductordesign and behavior under various operatingtemperatures and weather conditions. You willexamine concepts for assessing and upgradingthe capability of existing transmission lines.

    This course does not include training in howto use the PLS-CADD computer program.

    Transmission capacity in short supply

    Deregulation has changed the way the electricgrid is being used. Power transfers haveincreased transmission flows and taxed thecapacityofexistinglines.Inaddition,loadshave grown substantially over the last decadewhile few new transmission lines were built.These factors have produced a shortage oftransmission capacity in many areas of theUnitedStates.

    More capacity needed

    New transmission lines will need to be builtto meet the requirements of growing loadsand operation under changing competitivemarkets. Where right-of-way is at a premiumand new lines cannot be built, existing lineswill need to be upgraded to meet growingneeds.

    Learn transmission design principles

    Construction of new lines and upgradingof existing ones will require comprehensiveknowledge of transmission line conductors,structures, and foundations. This course willgive you the knowledge you need to effectivelydesign new lines and modify existing onesto meet the future needs of the electrictransmission system.

    Not a Computer SoftwareTraining CourseWe want to emphasize that this first course isnot intended to give you advanced trainingon how to use the PLS-CADD transmissionline design software. The companion course,Computerized Transmission Line Design: PLSCADD Hands-On Training, will do that. Thisfirst course gives you a thorough review of althe major civil and mechanical engineeringconcepts and methods used in the designof transmission lines and foundations. Theinstructor introduces you to the classicalanalytical design methods and develops theforce and moment equations using traditionalecture and Q & A techniques. He then usesPLS-CADD software to illustrate the conceptand design examples presented in this course

    Past Attendees Say

    This has been the best technica

    seminar that I have attended.

    The information was provided

    in a manner that makes

    it applicable to the daily

    engineering activities of the

    utility industry.

    Brandon Boone, Lead Service Planner, Sumter

    Electric Cooperative, Inc., Sumterville, FL

    The course and notebook are

    excellent! The notebook will

    be a great design reference for

    me in my daily job of designing

    transmission lines. I really

    liked the integration of using

    PLS-CADD, TOWER, etc. into

    the course. Very helpful and

    interesting.

    Michael Braithwaite, Civil Engineer, Nevada Power

    I have attended several

    short courses and this has

    been the best. Organization,

    presentation, and content were

    superb. The speakers were very

    effective in communicating the

    materials.

    Benefit from Advanced

    Computer TechnologyAdvanced software aids transmission designprocess

    Advanced computer programs are availableto aid the transmission design engineer in thestructural and geometric design of electricpower lines. Computer software also makesit possible to more easily produce relatedconstruction documents such as plan-and-profile drawings and material lists.

    Software not always used to full potential

    While computer tools are available to greatlyincrease the design engineers productivityand work quality, they are often not used

    to their full potential. One reason is a lackof training or understanding of advancedsurvey techniques, proper design criteria, linebehavior, structural analysis, and drafting. Asecond reason is an ineffective integration ofthese new design tools.

    Learn how to use integrated software

    At this course you will have hands-on trainingon how to use advanced transmission designsoftware that has integrated the varioussurveying, engineering, drafting, and materialmanagement functions. Your training willhelp you become proficient at using this

    advanced software and help you be moreproductive when using it in your work.

    Learn How to UsePLS-CADD ThroughComputer ExercisesThe purpose of this course is to teach you howto use the PLS-CADD computer program.The course emphasizes hands-on computermodeling. Your instructor will first explain abasic transmission design concept and thendemonstrate how to implement that design

    principle using the PLS-CADD software.Students will then execute the same designprinciples on their own computers. Numerouscase studies will provide a range of real-lifeexamples.
