Lower Churchill Project - Transmission line ice load assessment, Labrador - Newfoundland Link. Canada

The work involves designing and producing equipment for test spans that were installed in the Long Range Mountains in Newfoundland, model historical icing events, modelling and simulating icing for selected weather conditions, compare modelled icing to known icing observation in the area, evaluation of design loads for in-cloud icing, classify various transmission line routes according to risk of icing and make first analysis on risk of in-cloud icing in the Labrador area. Ongoing.
