Flat Land 500kV Project in Saudi Arabia – High-Speed Stringing Solution

Project Background

A power EPC company in Saudi Arabia was constructing a 500kV transmission line across desert terrain. The requirement was high-speed stringing with minimal downtime.

Challenges

• Long-distance stringing requiring stable high-speed operation
• Extreme heat affecting equipment performance
• Need for handling large conductors (720mm²)

Solution Provided

Our 2x40KN Hydraulic Tensioner was selected due to its capability to handle large conductors and operate at high speeds.

Key advantages:

• Max speed of 5 km/h for faster deployment
• Hydraulic oil cooling system for desert conditions
• High reverse pulling force (2×35kN) for flexibility

Execution

The machine was used continuously across long spans. The digital speed and meter counter allowed precise monitoring, ensuring accurate installation.

Results

• 30% reduction in project duration
• Stable operation under high temperature
• Improved accuracy in conductor placement

Client Feedback

“The equipment performed exceptionally well in desert conditions. The cooling system and hydraulic control were highly reliable.”

Summary

Ideal for high-voltage transmission projects in flat terrains, especially in Middle East markets.
