PREFACE

The construction practices in the transmission wing of RVPN have been built over
the past 40 years and passed on from seniors to juniors. The new generation of
Engineers, skilled Technical Supervisors and Workmen have, from time to time,
constantly updated the construction practices according to the latest developments in
the field of Transmission Engineering.

It was felt that the construction practices built over the years be compiled in the
form of a Manual and made available to Engineers and Technical Supervisors
engaged in the construction activities so that uniform practices and procedures are
followed in the Company.

A Committee of the following Engineers experienced in the field of Transmission

was assigned the task of preparing the Construction Manual:

Shri S. Dhawan, Chief Engineer (MM)

Shri B. N. Saini, Superintending Engineer (400 KV Design)
Shri Raghuvendra Singh, Executive Engineer (Prot. II)
Shri Mohan Singh Ruhela, Executive Engineer (C&M–400 KV GSS), Heerapura
Shri A. D. Sharma, Assistant Engineer (Civil – 400 KV Design)
Shri Atul Sharma, Assistant Engineer (TLPC)

I appreciate the work done by the members of the Committee in preparing and
bringing out this Construction Manual for Transmission lines. I am confident that the
Manual will be of great help to the Engineers posted in the Transmission &
Construction Wing in discharging their duties.
