Webinar – SSEN Transmission : Infrastructure and Land Management Considerations

Presenters - Michael Forrest, Lead Land Manager SSEN Transmission and George Leggat, Head of Land Assembly SSEN Transmission

This is the second in a pair of webinars relating to electricity transmission lines.  While the first focused on site selection and the use of statutory powers, this will concentrate on the practical implications, specifically in respect of the construction phase of the projects being undertaken by SSEN under Ofgem’s Accelerated Strategic Transmission Investment (ASTI) framework.

As with the first webinar, the topics covered are of national relevance.

Michael will discuss the construction process including site preparation, drainage and biosecurity measures. The presenters will cover the following topics : 

• Ground investigation works

• Preparation of Sites

• Overhead line construction

• Underground cable construction

• Road construction

• Practical considerations for construction

• Questions & Answers
