STUDY ON THE HARM OF DESERT SECTION ON TRANSMISSION PROJECTS AND COUNTERMEASURES

It is inevitable to cross desert for the transmission line project. Suggestions on route selection in the desert section of one transmission line project in Northwest China are put forward in terms of pole-tower location, foundation form selection, wind break and sand fixation. Some countermeasures for preventing and controlling wind-sand hazards are proposed as well. The methods and measures are proved to be reasonable, and the lines also run well.
