The project executed by PWE was the 400 KV Overhead Transmission Line (OHL) Erection and Stringing from Sohar Free Zone (SFZ) to SIS Grid Station (GS) for the client OETC (Oman Electricity Transmission Company), with SNCC (Sahel Najd Construction) as the main contractor. This was a high-voltage infrastructure project critical for enhancing the capacity and reliability of Oman’s national power grid. The scope of work involved the complete construction of new 400 KV transmission towers along the designated route, a task requiring significant engineering precision. PWE’s team was responsible for the erection of these massive steel lattice towers, ensuring they were assembled and raised to exact structural specifications. Following erection, the highly specialized process of stringing the high-tension electrical conductors between the towers was carried out. This stringing operation required the use of tensioners and pullers to ensure the conductors were installed without damage and at the correct sag tension. All activities were performed in strict compliance with OETC’s stringent technical and safety standards. The project strengthened the power transmission corridor from the strategically important Sohar Free Zone, a major industrial hub, to the SIS Grid Station. Successful completion of this project demonstrated PWE’s capability to handle large-scale, high-voltage turnkey projects from erection to commissioning. Ultimately, this upgrade contributed to a more robust and efficient electricity transmission network for the region.
