OHL & Conductor Assessment
Evidence-based assessment to support retain, monitor, refurbish or replace decisions.
Primary Logic provides OHL conductor condition assessment for UK electricity and infrastructure networks. Overhead line conductor testing combines sample examination, laboratory evidence and engineering interpretation to support maintenance, asset-management and replacement decisions.
Testing is undertaken using Primary Logic laboratory capability and specialist technical partners where appropriate.
Electrical resistance and resistivity testing can form part of a conductor condition assessment. The test scope is agreed around the conductor material, sample condition and applicable specification.
Results are interpreted alongside mechanical and materials findings, conductor dimensions and available operating history. A single measurement does not determine remaining service life.
Assessment scopes can be developed around the applicable asset-owner, industry or rail/OLE specification.
From evidence to action
Controlled recovery and sample handling.
Mechanical, electrical and materials assessment.
Results considered alongside conductor type, age, operating history and asset condition.
Continued service, monitoring, targeted intervention or replacement.
Planning your enquiry
Conductor type, sample availability, approximate age, operating history and the decision the assessment needs to support help define the scope. Sample recovery and handling should be agreed before material is removed.
Testing is undertaken using Primary Logic laboratory capability and specialist technical partners where appropriate. The scope and delivery arrangements are agreed for the assessment.
