' Engineers Of Hydro-Quebec Clear Power Line Hurdle MONTREAL i6P) —. Hydro- Quebec engineers this summer are clearing the highest. hurdle in construction of a 363-mile power line from. Manicouagan to Montreal The line to. carry 735,000 volts, is believed to be the high- est-voltage power-line in the world : Stringing of the entire line will be finished later this year, and power will surge from Hy- dro Quebec's Manicouagan- Outardes development on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River 200 miles east of Quebec City. Upon completion by 1974, the whole giant enterprise will have almost 6,000,000 kilowatt s— about 7,000,000 horsepower—of installed, capacity, This will almost double Que- bec's available power and will require three transmission lines like the one now under con- struction The big. leap this summer covers ~9,800° feet—aliiost” two miles--across the St. Lawrence heiween towers on the Isle of Orleans; near Quebec City; and the. south-shore mainland, USES TWO TOWERS The hurdle utilizes two sus- pension towers rising almost 600 feet above the river. They are to hold. 12 aluminum power-con- ductors. The construction feat is more difficult because of the contin- uous parade of shipping on this stretch of the river, one of the world’s busiest. sea-lanes, The conductors must be kept under strong tension. at all stages of the work so the lowest point will never be less than 190 feet above high tide—well above mast height of the tallest ships. River traffic was slowed only once—-for 50 minutes while a motor launch laid a ‘slim cable. across the river. The cable was threaded froai a.wiach on.ene Shore, through pulleys on , the Various anchor - and - suspen- sion towers to a winch on the other shore By this means a a cable was pulled across in turo hauled across the : ge ahuninuns: conductor The conducteor was designed by engineers of Aluminum Co.

The cable is only 1.1 inches in diameter but has a tensile strength of 107,500 pounds. The | three-phase transmission — line consists of 12 conductors strung in bundles of four. KEUSE WATERS The huge project embraces the repeated use of waters of the Manicouagan and Outardes rivers in a series of,eight. pow- erhouses’ which wl generate 5,500 000 . When completed nine years hen if: : The watershed of these rivers, which annually” émpty 1,500,- 000,000,000 cubic feet of water into the St. Lawrence, is 25,060) square miles. ,The first “new powerhouse, to become opera- tional later this year, will be Manicouagan No. 2 From a ollector station near this site, 20 miles north of Baie Comeau, the power tine is being built to. connect with Boucher- ville, across the St. Lawrence from the eastern section of Montreal. The present river crossing, when completed, »will have used about 22': miles of conductor, Supplied in 12 reels with an un- broken length of 10,320 feet each. All told, the - various river crossings in the project “will re- quire more than 133 miles of a special river-crossing cable, in addition to 2,400 miles of over- land conductor.
