Son La – Hoa Binh 500kV line has a total length of 116.419km. After 14 years of operation, Power Transmission Company No.1 (PCT1) has decided to implement a large-scale insulator replacement project to ensure safety and improve the power transmission’s efficiency. Modern technical solutions such as the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and Lidar technology have been applied to survey and plan construction. Thanks to that, the work is carried out quickly, accurately, and safely.
