Kleinfelder
LS Engergy Diablo 230kV Transmission Line, Pittsburg, CA
The purpose for this evaluation was to determine the thermal resistivity characteristics resulting from the soils at the project site and to provide a thermal resistivity analysis including a dryout curve for use in a 230kV transmission line design. JDH conducted laboratory thermal resistivity tests on one sample provided by Kleinfelder in accordance with ASTM D5334 and IEEE Standard 442 and produced a dryout curve that characterized the soil thermal resistivity as a function of water content between a dry or 0% moisture content to complete saturation.
