Factors to Consider While Construction of Distribution Lines
Before involve into the Construction of Distribution Lines, we need to 
have basic understanding on what are the components which take into 
consideration.By considering the voltage levels we can classified the 
construction of the system such as
33kV Distribution Lines
11 kV Distribution Lines (Primary)
415-240V Distribution Lines (Secondary)
According the mention main constructions we can assessed the respects 
material and labor cost with equip tools and able to create a 
estimation. The estimation also should consist the transportation cost 
of the labors and materials. In here we are plan to discuss some factors
 to consider while construction of electrical distribution power lines 
in practice.While in the design and the Construction of Distribution 
Lines we need to be extra care on avoiding some areas and those areas 
are.
1. Urban Development Areas
Avoiding urban development area is essential while construction of 
distribution line because it may lead some problems for construction . 
Sometime hazard may occur due to the developments.  While the 
development are taken in places it is also difficult to create such 
tower lines , So in preliminary survey this area must identify and 
avoid.
2. Places where the historical and archaeological areas
While construction of tower lines also involves deep excavation. So when
 the area is located nearly by the historical site. There might get 
affected to this archeological sites. It is much better to avoid this 
site for future benefits.
3. Some difficult river crossing
We cant hundred percent eliminate some of river crossings while 
Construction of Distribution Lines. But sometimes it is really hard to 
avoid . For river crossing the construction of the towers are change  
compare to ordinary places. There are special protection and special 
strength need to consider wile construction of tower in difficult river 
crossings.
4. Difficult road and railway crossings.
Like avoiding river crossing it is also better to avoid some difficult 
road and railway crossing because the construction of such area may cost
 couple of times rather than crossing normal towers.
5. Forest areas
Construction of the power line need to maintain necessary clearance so 
trees need cut down , this will affect the biodiversity of the respect 
frost. So it is really better to avoid and rich forest area under the 
survey and design stage.
 
6. Some Other Areas to Avoid
Following are some area which is better to avoid wile construction of electrical power lines.
Some natural hazard areas like steep valleys where earth slides can occur
Other Areas like temples, cemeteries, Playgrounds, schools ( need to to face social issues)
Proposed power lines also need to maintain safety distance from buildings and fire prone areas.
When the power line is constructed it is essential to consider on two 
main factors which are the short term considerations such as the cost of
 construction , compensations which need to supply. Longer term 
consideration are another factor which also consist the accessibility to
 maintenance, Tree trimming to maintain the relevant safety clearance 
and future development and service availability.
Most of distribution electrical power line consist RCC and PCC poles . 
Normally this type of poles are costlier but stronger. So handling and 
transporting this type of towers need to extra care. loading and 
unloading of the RCC/PCC poles should done very carefully. There are 
types of chain pulleys and different arrangement are use for perform 
loading and unloading of the electrical poles.
