Brief Description
APAR offers end-to-end reconductoring solutions using High Temperature Low Sag (HTLS) Conductors to significantly enhance the power transfer capacity of existing transmission corridors without the need for new Right of Way (RoW) acquisition.
Our solutions include strengthening of existing towers, replacement of conventional conductors with advanced HTLS conductors, and upgrading associated fittings, insulators, and transmission infrastructure. APAR has successfully executed over 272 complex reconductoring projects covering more than 7,075 circuit kilometers, delivering up to double the required ampacity while maintaining uninterrupted power supply.
APAR undertakes reconductoring projects across transmission systems ranging from 66kV to 765kV, including execution on live lines while keeping adjacent circuits operational, thereby minimizing service disruptions and maximizing network availability.
