Wind-Induced Conductor Motion

Professional Development Hours (1.0 PDHs)

Monday December 16, 12pm MST

Training Seminar Overview

Join us for an informative training webinar delving into the mechanisms of conductor motion and its impact on transmission infrastructure. This session will provide an overview of the latest industry mitigation strategies aimed at reducing these effects on transmission lines. Led by Daniel Saenz, P.E., Technical Manager at ASEC Engineers, this interactive webinar is tailored for civil, structural, and electrical professionals in the power delivery sector who seek in-depth understanding of wind motion dynamics and methods to minimize their adverse effects. Attendees will earn 1.0 Professional Development Hour (PDH).

“Sometimes, we tackle tough engineering challenges without fully understanding the forces at work—like conductor motion. I’m excited to take a deep dive into the mechanics behind this important part of power transmission, sharing valuable insights and practical ways to mitigate its effects. At ASEC, we’re all about giving back to the community by driving progress that makes power delivery safer and more reliable—paving the way for a stronger, more innovative energy future.”

Webinar Host: Daniel Saenz, P.E.

Webinar Highlights

Abstract: Gain an in-depth understanding of the various mechanisms behind wind-induced conductor motion. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, this webinar emphasizes a systematic methodology that integrates a range of tailored mitigation tools for effective results

Scope: This webinar will provide foundational guidance for line design engineers, supporting the development of structure detail drawings and material assembly lists for high-voltage transmission lines (69 kV and above) as well as lower voltage lines.

Purpose: Our expert speaker will lead you through the various modes of conductor motion, providing an in-depth exploration of analysis methods, mitigation strategies, and potential impacts on transmission infrastructure.
