• Preparation of Technical Tender Specification for 400kV and 220kV transmission line
tower, conductor, earthwire, insulator and other line accessories and hardware packages.
• Preparation of Technical Tender Specification for special equipment such as, Tension
Stringing Equipment (TSE) and Hot Line Maintenance equipment suitable for 400kV
level transmission line, Day/Night Aviation Warning Signals as per International Civil
Aviation Organisation (ICAO) requirements. I had been to the Works of M/s. TESMEC
CRF to assess their manufacturing capability and to carry out performance tests on their
16 Tonne TSE set.
• Checking and approving the designs submitted by contractor for different type of towers
and line materials.
• Technical Assessment of new vendors for different 400kV equipment.
• Witnessing of type tests on towers and line materials.
• I have dealt with tender preparation and also post award engineering activities for Dubai
Transmission Project on turn-key basis. This was the first such overseas contract of U.S
$17.70 millions (in Yr. 1990), won by NTPC and jointly executed along with M/s. KEC
International Ltd.
• I have visited Works of M/s. NGK, M/s SYGG and M/s. SEDIVER in connection with
testing of insulators.
• I have also visited Dalian Insulator Works, China, to assess their technical capability and
quality standards. In this context, I was associated with M/s. Merz and McLellan in
quality surveillance and selecting insulator samples for type testing.

successfully commissioned and running under commercial operation since Aug’06. This is
the first transmission system that has come up under Private-Public Partnership.

supervision; the project was won by Reliance.
• Presently at Isolux Corsan (India), I am looking after all the transmission line engineering
related issues in India (and also of overseas projects on selective basis). We have already
successfully developed and tested eight new tower designs for UP BOOT Project with
very competitive weights. We have also successfully redesigned three suspension towers
of our project being implemented in Brazil, with a weight saving of about 10 to 12%. We
have also designed four nos. of new towers for our project in Tanzania.
