Methods for dealing with high-voltage utility poles

2023-11-09View Original

Thread Content

Dear experts: The company’s hazardous waste storage facility is only 11.3 meters away from the 10KV high-voltage power poles outside the fence. The cost of demolishing the hazardous waste storage facility is too high; therefore, it is necessary to take action regarding those high-voltage power poles. Is there any master who has a good approach to this?

For such problems, there are generally the following approaches: 1. Overhead lines: This is the most common solution, which involves increasing the height of the high-voltage lines above the ground to meet the requirements for a safe distance. It should be noted, however, that the impact of overhead lines on nearby buildings may require assessment and mitigation. 2. Route detour: If conditions permit, it is possible to avoid the hazardous waste storage area by changing the direction of the route. This method is relatively expensive, but it offers higher security. 3. Underground cables: Replacing high-voltage lines with underground cables can also meet the requirements for safety distances. However, due to the need for underground construction, the costs are relatively high. 4. Use insulating covers: Installing insulating covers around high-voltage lines can effectively reduce electromagnetic radiation, but it also results in higher costs. Each of the above methods has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the specific choice needs to be determined based on actual circumstances and budget. In addition, it is also possible to consider consulting a professional electricity company, as they can provide more specialized solutions. .

Therefore, it is necessary to determine the fire hazard category of the hazardous waste storage area in your factory. If it falls into categories A or B, then there is a requirement that the distance from overhead power lines should be 1.5 times the height of the poles; if it is in category C or below, then no such requirement applies. Common solutions for when the distance from overhead power lines is insufficient: 1. Negotiate with the power supply company to have some of the overhead power lines converted from an overhead configuration to an underground one; the length that needs to be buried should be determined based on the specific conditions at the site ; 2. Negotiate with the power department to have the overhead power lines routed in such a way that their distance meets the regulatory requirements ; In practice, burial is the preferred option when it’s appropriate to do so, but ultimately, approval from the electricity authorities is required, and the factory itself has to cover the costs, which may be no less than those involved in building a new hazardous waste storage facility.
