ESKOM TAYLOR’S HALT 132KV POWER LINE AND TAYLOR’S HALT SUBSTATION

Scope of Work Description

1) Taylor’s Halt 132/22kV Substation

A 132/22kV substation called Taylor’s Halt SS will be established complete with earthworks, drainage, access road, fencing & gates, earthmat & foundations. In addition, 132/22kV transformers and 2 x 132kV line bays to loop in and out of Ariadne/Elandskop 132kV line will be installed.
Part of the scope of work is to identify and construct/establish a temporary laydown area required for the construction phase of the power line. A setup within the proposed substation area is ideal.

2) Ariadne/Elandskop Taylor’s Halt 132kV line (loop in & out)

A 2,63km 132kV power line will T-off from Ariadne/Elandskop 132kV line and Loop in Loop Out to Taylor’s Halt 132kV/22kV Substation on double circuit structures.

The current Application is for the construction of the following:
 Construct a ± 2,63km overhead 132kV line outside an urban area from the T-off with the 132kV Ariadne/Elandskop line to the proposed Taylor Halt substation.
 Construct 132/22kV Taylor’s Halt Substation.
 Clearance of an area of ± 3,5 hectares (175m X 200m = 35 000m2) for Taylor’s Halt substation and a temporary laydown area on ± 50 x 50 metres inside the substation site. An additional laydown area of 60m by 60m might be required for the powerline construction.
