POWERLINE FOUNDATIONS INSTALLED ALONG RAILROAD TRACKS

When the only practical location for a transmission line for the Connecticut Light & Power Co. was along the heavily traveled main line tracks of the Penn Central Railroad, the contractor had to solve a series of construction problems for the tower foundations. The solution to these problems (provide adequate support for operating railroad tracks; keep relocation of railroad facilities; minimize access problems for equipment, and minimize blasting costs) were found in the use of varied installation techniques and low cost foundations.
