Overview
In October 2023 Powerlink completed a project to refit the existing 110kV South Pine to Upper Kedron transmission line. This line is an essential component of the electricity transmission network supplying the Brisbane metropolitan area.
The line has been in service since 1963 and required refitting to ensure a continued safe, reliable and cost effective power supply to our community.
The project involved refitting 33 towers along the 12.5km line. Activities included:
- condition assessment
- replacing overhead earth wires
- checking and replacing any corroded nuts, bolts and steelwork
- restoring and/or upgrading access tracks.
