Power line operation

Emergency Power Line Repairs 

Power lines are a critical component of the energy infrastructure, but they are constantly exposed to external threats such as weather conditions, mechanical damage, or material degradation. One of the most serious risks is a line break, which may lead to extended power outages for end users. In such cases, immediate repair or replacement of the damaged line is essential.

Alterga provides comprehensive services for the repair and restoration of power lines. We fully understand the risks a broken power line poses to human and animal safety as well as the significant impact on consumers. That’s why the #AltergaTeam responds immediately upon receiving a service request. Our repair services include both complete line replacement and partial restoration, such as:

• replacement/repair of structural support elements
• grounding system repairs
• repair and replacement of overhead ground wires, phase conductors, line fittings, and insulator strings (glass, ceramic, and composite)
• restoration of damage caused by mining activities or ground movement affecting power lines

Power Line Operation and Maintenance 

Proactive operation and regular inspection of power lines significantly reduce the risk of unexpected failures. Although each line is designed for a specific fault-free operational lifespan, unforeseen circumstances may cause damage. Periodic inspection enables the assessment of a line’s technical condition and helps identify necessary maintenance or replacement activities to ensure long-term, uninterrupted performance.

Alterga offers comprehensive inspection services of electrical infrastructure, including evaluation of the overall condition of the line and all associated components. Based on inspection results, clients can make decisions regarding the need for component replacement, tower structure reinforcement, or the application of anti-corrosion protection.

Comprehensive Power Infrastructure Inspection 

Our operation, inspection, and maintenance services include:

• detailed visual inspection along the entire length of the line
• technical condition assessment of power lines, insulators, phase and grounding conductors, and overhead ground wire suspension fittings
• detection of foreign objects, e.g. bird nests, tree branches on wires or poles
• evaluation of a tower condition and the need for anti-corrosion protection
• identification of potential threats to overhead lines, such as vegetation growth, mining-related damage, or land subsidence near the line

While the complete elimination of risk is not possible, systematic inspections and professional maintenance significantly reduce the likelihood of faults and outages. That’s why partnering with Alterga means leveraging specialized knowledge and extensive experience in power line operations.
