ESB Networks has embarked on a major refurbishment project to upgrade the Flagford to Louth 220kV electricity transmission line, a 100km corridor linking the west and east of Ireland. In a first for Ireland, eleven towers across the line were each raised by approximately 2.5 metres using new technology by Ampjack, a Canadian-based engineering company.
