Subtransmission line design and construction

This manual provides approved drawings for ‘like for like’ replacement of existing legacy pole top constructions. This manual is intended for use by maintenance personnel in performing ‘Like for Like’ replacement of existing old, worn out or broken with new hardware which is the same or an approved equivalent. Use of these structures does not trigger a design change.
