Transmission Lines

I have just returned from an interesting assignment for a long time client of mine. I was shooting in Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico. My client Tri-State Generation & Transmission is currently installing a 117 mile long transmission line. It is my understanding that the cost comes to about $225,000.00 per mile.

The power lines are installed by use of a helicopter, the pilot pulls the line about 2 miles before the line is spliced together. I also shot the construction of the power poles, these poles are of the wood type. I was told that each pole costs about $2,000 - $2,500.00 each.



On the last day of shooting, I had the opportunity to shoot the helicopter from a large bucket. I was about as high as the tops of the power poles, that was a lot of fun! I've attached a photo of me in that bucket, Eric shot this while I was working.
