Overhead Power Lines
Our OHL Services
Our capabilities
Our capabilities span overhead line infrastructure from 11kV through to 132kV, including wood and composite poles and lattice steel tower systems. From early route feasibility and surveys through detailed design, construction support, refurbishment and asset renewal, we bring together the engineering expertise needed throughout the lifecycle of an overhead line project
Expertise from survey and design through to delivery
Our overhead line capability combines specialist design and engineering with practical knowledge of how networks are built, operated and maintained. Services include route feasibility, LiDAR and traditional surveys, PLS-CADD modelling, line design, condition assessment, structural analysis, conductor uprating, clearance studies and geotechnical investigation.
We support everything from smaller line diversions and cable sections through to refurbishment programmes, online rebuilds and new overhead line routes, with experience across both distribution and transmission infrastructure. Freedom has completed more than 1,000km of OHL LiDAR survey and design projects at 11kV, 33kV and 132kV for UK DNOs.
Supporting resilient regulated networks
Our regional network teams support DNOs with the inspection, maintenance, repair and renewal of overhead line assets, alongside wider underground cable and substation programmes. Current Freedom material positions this as a geographically aligned operating model with national resource sharing, allowing expertise and resource to be deployed where it is needed.
This includes targeted programmes across wooden pole networks, helping clients extend asset life, strengthen reliability and maintain safe, resilient networks as electricity demand grows. Freedom's current regulated network content specifically references work across 11kV, 33kV and 66kV wooden pole networks, supported by refurbishment, reinforcement and replacement activity
Ready when networks need us 24/7
Network resilience also means being able to respond when the unexpected happens. Freedom provides 24/7/365 emergency and storm response, supporting rapid mobilisation during outages, severe weather and unplanned network incidents.
Our experienced operational teams can support network recovery, temporary and permanent repairs and the restoration of critical infrastructure, helping DNOs protect supply to the customers and communities they serve

Careers on your doorstep
The strength of our regulated network delivery lies in our highly skilled workforce.
CareersOverhead line roles
Overhead line professionals are at the core of Freedom’s regulated network delivery, supporting inspection, maintenance, refurbishment and renewal of overhead assets across voltages from 11kV to 132kV. These roles include overhead line operatives and supervisors who work on wooden poles, steel structures and lattice towers, carrying out asset inspections, reinforcement works and full replacement programmes.
Cable jointing and underground network roles
Cable jointers and underground network operatives play a critical role in maintaining and expanding DNO cable networks. Working across LV, 11kV, 33kV and higher‑voltage systems, these roles involve jointing, termination, fault repair and cable replacement on regulated assets.
Project leadership
Senior Design Engineers, Clerks of Works and Project Manager/Senior Authorised Person (SAP)] roles play a pivotal part in our support of regulated DNO networks projects. These specialists provide a range of technical leadership developing compliant, buildable designs that align with DNO standards and long‑term network investment plans.
