Redwitz-Mechlenreuth

The project “380/110 kV Redwitz-Mechlenreuth line, line no. B159 - lot 1” comprises the replacement construction of the 380/110 kV line, which plays an important role in the energy supply.

Overhead line construction by Cteam, building a lattice tower.

Short facts

  • Country: 
    Germany
  • Service area:
    Overhead line construction

The work includes the new construction of the route with 21 WA masts and 36 T-masts as well as the dismantling of the existing B112 line.

Cteam construction: Concrete pouring for overhead line transmission tower foundation.

Project details:

  • Customer: TenneT TSO GmbH
  • Project start: June 2021
  • Project duration: June 2021 – June 2023 (approx. 24 months)
  • Length of line: 380 kV line: approx. 22 km, 110 kV line: approx. 5 km
  • Foundation: 20 x single large bored piles, 1 x twin bored pile, approx. 4,300 m³ concrete
  • Total weight of masts: approx. 4,100 tonnes
  • Cabling: new build with 565-AL1/72-ST1A bundle of 4 and dismantling with single cable / bundle of 2
  • Special features: difficult topology, crossing with electrified railway line, use of helicopters for dismantling

As part of the project, the 380/220 kV systems that have existed since the 1970s will be converted to two 380 kV systems. The work also includes installing the 380 kV systems, dismantling the old route, and implementing temporary solutions inside and outside the substation.

This challenging project demonstrates Cteam’s expertise in the realisation of complex infrastructure projects that require both state-of-the-art technology and high safety standards.
