Iceland – Construction work – TO2-01: Þorlákshafnarlína 2, 132 kV underground cable Earthworks and installation of underground cable

The project involves excavating for and installing a 132 kV underground cable, Þorlákshafnar Line 2 (TO2), from a new terminal tower to be constructed on Sogslína 2 near Hveragerði to the substation at Þorlákshöfn (TOR). The cable route is approximately 21.2 km in length. A trench will be excavated for the cable, and three single-core cables forming the TO2 circuit will be laid in a triangular configuration in cable sand at a depth of about one meter. An access track will be constructed along the cable route where necessary. The work also includes installation of foundations and guy anchors for the terminal tower, as well as site reinstatement.
