Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng | | Dutch term or phrase: lijnafspanning | In a quotation sheet for construction works involving high-voltage cables and stations:
'In de unit rates zijn de kosten voor de montage van de lijnafspanning niet opgenomen.'
What is meant by 'afspanning' here? What is done to the wires? I would be grateful for any suggestions and references (no hit on Google for 'lijnafspanning').
Kind regards,
Ron |

in this case, with the \'montage van de...\', it may be that the line anchoring fittings are what is meant |
