Line planning involves all the tasks that precede the construction of high-voltage overhead lines and cable routes, and are required for their approval and implementation.
We provide customised solutions for approval, implementation and increased efficiency.
With state-of-the-art technologies and highly qualified engineers, we set standards in the industry. Terrestrial surveys, laser scanning data processing and drone flights provide a precise basis for planning.
Our land securing experts take care of registering the land and ensure efficient communication and coordination of all stakeholders, including during the preparatory measures for construction and the subsequent construction of the line.
Precise and innovative line planning for the energy sector
We carry out all technical calculations and planning in-house with the utmost precision. In-house developments lead to increased efficiency and offer network operators the opportunity to improve safety-related calculations, optimise construction processes, and plan construction sites more effectively.
Our portfolio is complemented by variant analyses and feasibility studies, which enable optimum project implementation. Cteam offers the energy industry comprehensive, forward-looking line planning.
Task areas in line planning
Line planning is wide-ranging, covering everything from initial feasibility studies to technical construction support. This is where Cteam offers extensive solutions.
01
Terrestrial surveying and via UAS
We travel throughout Germany and beyond with external partners and our own personnel to carry out precise on-the-ground and aerial surveys using state-of-the-art equipment.
02
Overhead line and cable route project planning
Together with the network operator, we plan optimal routes and bring together the needs of a wide range of stakeholders. Thanks to our experience and technical expertise, we can identify exclusion criteria before authorisation procedures are initiated and take them fully into account during the planning process.
03
Approval
We support network operators in all phases of planning approval or planning approval procedures and assist in the planning of conversion and renovation measures. We can oversee all aspects of the necessary work, from conducting feasibility studies to submitting complete authorisation documents, both internally and through long-term partnerships.
04
Special technical solutions
We are happy to work closely with our customers to develop special technical solutions, even in complex situations such as power plant connections and cable entries in substations. We can visualise these solutions three-dimensionally if required and incorporate them into construction schedules. Thanks to our close collaboration with our construction divisions and their expertise, which we are happy to draw on, we can always guarantee construction-optimised planning solutions.
05
Land securing
On behalf of the network operators, we conclude contracts with landowners located within the protection strip of planned lines. We also obtain the necessary land registry security for the construction and operation of the lines, and pay the required compensation. Throughout the construction process, we handle all communication with affected landowners or managers, announcing measures, coordinating schedules and settling any land damage.
06
Software development
Originally established to develop software designed to increase our own efficiency and quality, we have also been developing software for the market for a long time, with the aim of improving processes for network operators, service providers, and our construction business, as well as making construction sites more digital. Our Cteam GIS is just one example of a product that has been successfully marketed and covers all stages of a project, from conception to commissioning.
The future of line planning
The line planning process is constantly evolving and becoming more market-oriented in order to adapt to the new challenges posed by the energy transition. We stay up to date with the latest technologies and methods to meet increasing demand. We aim to make line planning more efficient and sustainable by continuously improving and adapting to new technologies.
