Preliminary Work Conducted Sample Clauses

Preliminary Work Conducted. CEB design engineers initially establish several possible alternative routes on a topographical map of the scale 1:50,000. In selecting alternatives, care is taken to avoid areas with significant residential or commercial land-use, and to avoid environmentally sensitive areas such as wildlife sanctuaries and protected areas. The preferred routing any line is always through areas of low-grown agriculture, particularly paddy and tea, and through “chena type” land, where crops are grown in rotation. Similarly, the Habarana-Valachchanai line traverse deviates from the existing corridor, to minimise the traverse through the forest. The width of the corridor for the new 132 kV lines will be 27 meters. A preliminary walk-over survey was conducted for each line, and thereafter, CEB transmission design staff including design engineers examined the ground realities with regard to impacts on land, buildings vegetation, and options available to minimise the impacts. The transmission line corridors are presently at the stage of being finalised with regard to the routing. Environmental approval for the Ukuwela-Pallekelle lines has already been issued.

The preferred routing of the line is always through areas of low-grown agriculture, particularly paddy and tea, and through “chena type” land, where crops are grown in rotation. In the selection of alternative routes between Rantembe and Mahiyangana, the maximum possible length of route was selected to traverse xxxxx xxxxxx, chena, shrubs and grasslands. Similar efforts were made to minimise the route length through forests in the Habarana-Valachchenai line, and also the other lines. The width of the corridor for the 132 kV lines will be 27 meters. A preliminary walk-over survey was conducted, and thereafter, CEB transmission design staff including design engineers examined the ground realities with regard to impacts on land, buildings vegetation, and options available to minimise the impacts. This transmission line project is presently at the stage of being finalised with regard to the routing.
