SOUTHWEST CALGARY RING ROAD (SWCRR)

SOUTHWEST CALGARY RING ROAD (SWCRR)
PROPOSED 138 KV TRANSMISSION LINE RELOCATION
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Alberta Transportation has started planning for the construction of the SW portion of the road that will complete the Calgary Ring
Road. The completion of the SWCRR requires the relocation of several utilities that are directly impacted by the road construction.
The Province is working collaboratively with the impacted utility companies to help facilitate their planning and design.
The road design for the SWCRR conflicts with existing transmission infrastructure. Alberta Transportation has requested ENMAX
Power (ENMAX) to relocate its transmission lines away from the road alignment and into the new Power Line Component of the
newly established Transportation Utility Corridor (TUC) along the SWCRR. This land was transferred from the Tsuu T’ina Nation to
the Government of Alberta to accommodate a portion of the SWCRR and TUC.
PROJECT DETAILS
The project requires construction of new 138 kV transmission lines as well as the removal and salvage of existing transmission lines
including:
•Construction of a new 138 kV transmission line from AltaLink Substation
42S located at the intersection of Sarcee Trail and Glenmore Trail to
ENMAX Substation 35 located north of 90 Avenue SW in the southwest
corner of Glenmore Park
•Construction of a new 138 kV transmission line from ENMAX Substation
35 to ENMAX Substation 6 located at 16300 – 37 Street SW
•Removal and salvage of an existing 138 kV line between AltaLink Substation
42S and ENMAX Substation 30 located at 11111 – 37 Street SW and a
section of transmission line south of ENMAX Substation 30 once ENMAX
Substation 35 and the new proposed transmission lines are energized.

TRANSPORTATION UTILITY CORRIDOR
(TUC)
In the mid-1970s, the Government of Alberta
established Restricted Development Areas (RDAs)
around Calgary. The lands included in these RDAs were
designated to accommodate linear transportation and
utility facilities. These uses include ring roads (and
associated interchanges), stormwater management
facilities, petroleum pipelines, power transmission
lines and municipal regional water, sanitary and storm
sewer lines.

TRANSMISSION STRUCTURES
The proposed single circuit transmission structures will be self-supporting expandable steel monopoles with a height of 18 to 24
metres ( 58 to 78 feet). The transmission line running east west to connect to Substation 35 at 90 Avenue SW will be a double circuit
line ranging in height from 22 to 27 metres ( 72 to 89 feet ). Distance between structures will be approximately 100 to 140 metres
(325 to 459 feet)
Alberta Infrastructure advised ENMAX the TUC right of way for current and future line use is only 25 metres wide with a height
restriction of 44 metres.
