Abstract
This project follows the design of a new 132kV Subtransmission line from Wellington to Dubbo in Western NSW. Focus is centred toward optimum material selection for major items such as poles and conductor and finding key differences between the distribution authority’s standard and Australian standards in an attempt to reduce costs for the project. Costs are reduced significantly in the material selection area with high potential advantage in selecting larger conductors to reduce losses and in using a more diverse range of poles. Little benefit is found through other areas of difference between standards largely due to this job being well suited to EE Subtransmission standards.
