As a retired engineer, I found it interesting to note that they were using slide rules to perform their calculations. Things have obviously changed since then.
I live in a Bonnevile Power area, and there's still TONS of electrical towers that look just like the one at 14:35. LOL They'll probably never be replaced. (They are steel, after all. :))
Excellent video. Great tool to use to explain to interns and new hires to Overhead Transmission Engineering. I wish I had this to use as part of the training. It also helps to bridge the gap in understanding some of the documentation of the existing lines that are replaced, refurbished, reconductored or relocated and now, how PLSCADD is used and applied. It is important to be able to understand the existing structures and conductor and the loading criteria of the existing transmission line if making modifications. Sometimes the documentation does not exist and engineers need to know the vintage and type of materials and codes used at the time before making changes. Thank you for finding this movie and publishing!
Very interesting. we are all grateful for these men. we have it easy now in our trade compared to them. we do it hot now but imagine doing rod like that or pulling wire like that.
The only diference in the constructive process is that we used more advance machines (not tractors or trucks) in the stringin and sagging process, apart of that, the methods are the same as 70 years ago
Hi, The project management quality considerations are cost, distance, amount of resources, utilization rate, and resource ability. Interestingly time is not considered in this video. Scope is everything but cost. Rate is everything but cost and distance. What would substantially increase the success of these engineering projects? Thanks. God Bless. Aaron
wow, a very simple and detailed explanation of Stringing and sagging process. Onto that, do you have any similar videos on the contruction process of the over all transmission line? I couldnt find similar videos in the channel, thank you. BonnevillePower
I'll never look at transmission lines the same way anymore. So much planning involved in this!
Been in the electrical field over 50 years. Really enjoy the video. Thanks

So much is involved, great engineering and technical skills especially given this was 70 years ago.
yaaaas!!! Every time I drive past Bonneville I think about how those lines were run, and am in awe. So excited for this video!! Thank you!!
This was very good, often wondered about things that were explained by this.

Wow! I'm so glad I found this. Amazing.
Excellent video and easy to understand .
Great educational video!

This was like a time capsule.
outstanding explanation

I'm sure many of this is still in place and applies today. Very interesting and informing video. I likes! :)
O S H A. Pulling their hair out
Outstanding.
Excellent!
awesome flashbook
Awesome video! Always wondered what those towers were called when they change direction.
Those guys had titanium balls!
Tough guys those high tension linemen!
Very interesting!

Nice ❤
It makes me wonder how did the engineer do this while he was all alone.
Not much PPE. How things have changed.
i work on transmission line in alberta and new Brunswick love my job now retire
That explains your account picture...
You were a brave guy. You must have had nerves of steel.
Hello Sr¡. Could I ask you what companies did you work for? And maybe a contact to ask for job.
thanks in advance¡
That fingernail though.
