Transmission lines are integral to supplying power to homes and businesses throughout the country. Confronted with variable terrains, geohazards, and other site complications, transmission line construction projects must contend with a wide range of complexities, including the extreme challenge of traversing mountainous regions. Often at these locations, the hillside needs to be benched to create a level pad for the electrical transmission line tower foundations. If not properly mitigated, the cutting of these slopes can lead to erosion, potentially endangering the long-term stability of the towers. |
