Industrial

Watay Transmission Line in Ontario

Project Overview

ACME Technical Services completed remote fusion splicing and testing of Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) along the 1,800 km Watay Transmission Line in Ontario. The project overcame challenging terrain with the use of helicopters, Sherp vehicles, and splice trucks to access remote spool points. Precision splicing and on-site testing ensured durability, optimal signal quality, and a reliable fiber backbone critical for grid communication and monitoring across the expansive corridor.
Scope of Work

  • Performed remote fusion splicing of OPGW on a new 1,800 km transmission line
  • Accessed difficult terrain using helicopters, Sherp vehicles, and splice trucks
  • Conducted on-site integrity testing for each fiber connection
  • Employed protective measures to safeguard splices and signal performance

Operational Benefits

  • Real-time grid monitoring and communication across vast distances
  • Enhanced transmission line reliability and operational visibility
  • Reduced need for future site revisits due to precise planning and execution

Quality Standards

  • Fusion splicing performed to meet low-loss, high-durability standards
  • On-site OTDR testing at each spool point for verified signal integrity
  • Project planning optimized to ensure efficiency and minimize operational disruptions

Long-Term Impact

  • Established a robust fiber backbone supporting long-term grid stability
  • Improved data communication across remote and expansive transmission regions
  • Infrastructure built to endure environmental challenges and support future technological upgrades
