Methods for the installation of overhead transmission lines and devices thereof

A method for overhead transmission line installation, the method comprising:

• tension pulling a transmission line over a path between a first support structure having a first mounting location and a second support structure having a second mounting location, wherein the path extends from the first mounting location on the first support structure to a first transition location on the second support structure, from the first transition location on the second support structure to a second transition location on the first support structure, and from the second transition location on the first support structure to the second mounting location on the second support structure;
• mounting the transmission line at the first mounting location and the second mounting location, wherein the mounting provides a slack portion of the transmission line between the first mounting location and the second mounting location;
• and
• mounting a portion the slack portion proximate to either the first mounting location or the second mounting location to provide an overhead transmission line extending between the first mounting location and the second mounting location and a remainder of the slack portion.
