Valley to Dooms Transmission Line No. 549 Rebuild Transmission
| Client | Virginia Power Co. |
| Completion Date | 2020 |
| Location | Virginia |
| Completed by | MYR Energy Services, Inc. and The L.E. Myers Co. |
MYR Energy and L.E. Myers rebuilt the existing No. 549 line, replacing weathered steel F-series towers with dulled galvanized towers between the Valley and Dooms substations. Construction on the 17.72-mile project took place on existing right of way (ROW)and was split into two phases due to outage restraints.
MYR Energy served as the prime contractor for the all-inclusive project, with L. E. Myers managing and overseeing access and foundation installation.
Multiple challenges arose during the project, including its proximity to a 500kV line that ran parallel and a crossing over a major interstate. Most of the line crossed through rural land used for crop and livestock farming in the Shenandoah Valley.
