ABSTRACT
The need for proper power distribution is a daily concern in a fast-developing city like Benin. High-voltage and ultra-high-voltage overhead power lines are important to meet the electricity demand of our daily activities and productions. Due to the overgrowth of trees/vegetation within the corridor area, the distance between the power lines and its surroundings may break through the safety threshold, which could cause potential hazards such as discharge and fire outbreak. To ensure the safe and stable operation of these power lines, it is necessary to carry out regular survey so that the potential hazards from the surroundings within the power lines corridor could be discouraged. The methodology involves data acquisition of the route and establishing the right of way corridor, this is done by the application of AutoCAD software and the use of a hand-held GPS receiver to mark out the position of each tower. Results show that the safety distance between each pole is 200m for each pole corridor of all voltage levels. Compared to the ground-truth point-to-point calculation
