Undertaking transmission line improvements amidst extreme conditions presents unique challenges, especially when spanning a sixty-mile stretch from Carbondale, CO to Hagerman Pass near Leadville. Accessing the majority of the line via forest service roads or utility company right-of-ways posed logistical hurdles, with two full days required for each inspection journey. Moreover, meticulous documentation was essential, with weekly reports meticulously compiled, each accompanied by over 100 detailed photographs. These demanding conditions necessitated precise planning, unwavering commitment to safety protocols, and a keen focus on the reliability and integrity of the transmission lines throughout the project lifecycle.
