The 220 kV D/C Palampur-Hamirpur transmission project represents a significant milestone in the energy landscape of Himachal Pradesh. This project, aimed at enhancing power transmission infrastructure, brings a multitude of benefits to the areas it serves.
Skipper Limited successfully commissioned the 220kV Palampur-Hamirpur project. The project included almost 198 towers with over 60 different leg and body extension combinations and stretched over 58Kms. The construction of the Palampur-Hamirpur transmission line posed significant challenges, notably in transporting construction materials like sand, cement, and aggregate from the road to the work site.
Manual head loading and mules were utilized for this task. Stringing the conductor between two hills, separated by a valley, presented a unique challenge, requiring meticulous planning. Moreover,the pandemic made the mobilization of labourers extremely difficult. The project achieved a remarkable feat by stringing an 834-meter-long span, the second-longest in HPPTCL lines. The manual head loading of over 4500 MT of tower parts and stubs, expertly managed by a dedicated team from J&K, further underscores Skipper's resilience and successful execution despite the hardships.
