Efficient Overhead Extension & Railroad Crossing for Entergy Texas

Entergy Texas, Inc. awarded LTSI a project to stake approximately 3 miles of 3-phase overhead extension within a 1,000-acre intermodal facility. The project required careful planning and execution due to:

• Design Alterations: Changes to the original easement proposal required adjustments to the project scope and alignment.
• Railroad Permitting Compliance: Our primary client contact was unfamiliar with rail permitting requirements, adding complexity to the overhead extension design.
• Vertical Clearance Challenges: Ensuring the overhead railroad crossing met NESC compliance while maintaining efficiency in design and construction.

LTSI proactively adapted to design changes and regulatory requirements, ensuring the project’s smooth execution. Our approach included:

• Revised Field Design: Conducted further field design to align with the new easement layout, ensuring project continuity.
• Comprehensive Construction Plans: Developed detailed construction plans and vertical profiles to accommodate the railroad crossing and overhead extension.
• Seamless Railroad Permitting: Navigated rail permitting complexities effortlessly, ensuring compliance with all regulations.
• Clear & Continuous Client Communication: Maintained transparent and proactive communication with ETI, addressing changes swiftly and efficiently.

This project demonstrated LTSI’s ability to navigate complex infrastructure challenges with precision and efficiency. By adapting to design changes, ensuring regulatory compliance, and maintaining proactive communication, we delivered a solution that exceeded client expectations while reinforcing our reputation for excellence in power infrastructure projects.
