Till the end of September in the framework of reconstruction over 100 concrete poles the operation life of which exceeds 35 years are planned to be installed instead of wood poles.

The reconstruction of 10 kilovolt OL “Kraskovo” has begun from 35/10 kilovolt substation “Popovka” in Cherepovetsky District of Vologda region. In the framework of the agreed investment program “Vologdaenergo” the expenses for the project implementation in 2010 will amount to RUR 6, 8 million.

By the words of the Department’s Chief of the capital construction of branch “Vologdaenergo” Valery Rybin, as of today the contractor organization has already installed 61 concrete poles at the power facility. In total 114 poles are planned to be installed till the end of the third quarter of 2010.

The reconstruction of an area of 10 kilovolt OL “Kraskovo” constructed in 1974-1976ss is preconditioned by a necessity of change of wood poles having an expired operation life. The worn overhead lines pass through the woodland. Over 3 cutoffs per year happen at this area because of falling out of trees from woodlands.

The area of 10 kilovolt OL “Kraskovo” provides over one thousand dwellers of the region with power, feeds a large wood-processing enterprise, an artesian well in village of Kozlovo. The project implementation of reconstruction will make it possible to increase power supply reliability of consumers from Cherepovetsky District.
