Project Description and Maven’s Role

On July 4, 2015, a forest fire traveled along the right of way of a transmission line from Cape Scott Windfarm to Port Hardy Substation on Vancouver Island. With damage to the transmission structures being a potential concern, Maven was tasked with inspecting structures along the right of way and providing a professional opinion on the state of the damage, with a view to re-energizing the line in a timely manner.
