Construction in Hells Canyon
In the summer of 2003, Idaho Power Company (IPC) commenced construction of the Brownlee-Oxbow #2 230 kV transmission line. This construction was the culmination of a two year permitting and design process that presented significant design and construction challenges due to the line's location within the famed Hells Canyon National Recreation area. The double circuit transmission line was designed with tubular steel, base-plated poles set on drilled pier foundations. The construction was performed in the heat of the summer on rocky cliffs. Construction access was difficult and in some locations not allowed, necessitating hand tool and aerial construction techniques. Through all these conditions, the construction contractor completed construction of the project in approximately five months and on schedule to enable IPC to relieve a crowded electrical transmission path.
