Catenary support system [for overhead power line maintenance]

The author describes a catenary support system (CSS) which has proved that it is tremendously versatile to meet the requirements of different designs of overhead power transmission lines that straddle the ever increasing populated areas. Whilst many maintenance projects have been shelved over recent years due to the impracticalities of providing scaffolding or obtaining possessions or closures, the CSS has been able to provide a satisfactory solution to replace these sometimes inefficient overhead conductors.
