The materials were stored at a storage yard in Las Vegas and one in Cedar City and shipped to the sites, coded for ease of assembly. Stringing the conductor followed. The conductor is comprised of three aluminum wires with a d steel core for strength. There are over 17 million feet of conductor, and 4 12 million feet of ground wiro on the line. Prior to the conductor stringing, insulators were hung on the towers with pulleys attached for the stringingoperation. Helicopters were often used to lift equipment and carry ttie wire from one pulley to another. Principal suppliers of the materials were Aluminum Company of America, Reynolds Metals, Lehigh Structural Steel Company, Modulus Corp., and Bethea Electrical Products, Inc. The final operation is restoration of the site, which includes blading and reseeding in some cases. The $1.1 billion cost of the system was financed by the Southern California participants in IPP. That cost includes the switchyard and converter stations. The converter stations change the power that is generated at IPP from alternating current to direct current, and back to alternating at Adelanto. Transmitting power over long distances Involves considerable power loss. The use of the direct current reduces that loss dramatically. At 500 kilovolts the IPP line is one oi the longest high voltage direct current lines in the country. Chairman of the Intermountain Power Agency (IPa) Board of Directors, Reece Nielsen, recently remarked on the importance of the IPPAdelanto line. "The western power transmission grid has long suffered from the lack of a line to Southern California. This important connection represents enormous benefit to the people of this region," he said.

IPP's site manager for the transmission line, Mike Pontius, attributed the timely completion to the quality of the supplies, the contractors, and the work force. "Completing this large and complex project on schedule is a tribute to a productive work force and excellent contractors," he said. The contractors employed 600 workers to construct the line, about con300 each. Commonwealth structed the 239 mile portion from Adelanto, California, to Moapa, Nevada, and Irby constructed the 250 mile portion from Delta to Moapa. Except for the initial tower survey, the contractors were responsible for all phases of the construction. The first phase involved cutting The second the access roads. phase was the excavation and construction of the footings of the The footings were steel towers. poured to an average depth of 20 feet and varied in diameter depending on the steel tower height and weight.
