Why Underground?

Installers choose underground power for its superior reliability, protection against weather-related outages, and reduced maintenance compared to overhead lines.

Reliability is a cornerstone of any power system, but for remote communities, it’s often compromised by the vulnerabilities of overhead lines. underground installations can help safeguard against outages caused by harsh weather or wildlife interference. Innovative undergrounding solutions are enabling utilities to provide consistent power, even in challenging environments.

Underground (UD) power systems offer superior protection against natural hazards by shielding cables from storms, high winds, lightning, ice, and falling debris. Unlike overhead lines, they are unaffected by winter weather, wildfires, and tree-related damage, while also reducing the risk of outages from severe storms. Their watertight insulation helps resist flooding, and flexible designs improve resilience against seismic activity. Though UD power systems provide enhanced reliability and safety, they require higher installation costs and complex repairs when faults occur. Overall, they are a durable solution for ensuring continuous power in harsh environmental conditions.

The debate over choosing between overhead and underground transmission lines continues to be a contentious issue. Utilities must consider costs, environmental impacts, and long-term advantages to make well-informed decisions suited to each specific situation.
