Gila-Senator Wash Structure & Access Road Maintenance
CX(s) Applied: B1.3

Western proposes to conduct maintenance on access roads leading to structure 16/5 of the Gila-Senator Wash 69 kilovolt Transmission Line. All work will be done along existing access roads. This will consist of blading and leveling out areas of the existing access road using dozers, bucket trucks, crew trucks and pickup trucks. A backhoe will be used during replacement of the anchor guy and down guys. This work is necessary to maintain the safety and reliability of the bulk electrical system.
