 Replacement of Rusted cantilevers:

Rusted cantilevers are the one of the causes for breakdowns in polluted areas. Due
to the rusting of the rusting of the cantilever tubes, the mechanical strength of the

cantilever will decreases drastically and leads to breakdown of OHE. To avert the
failures due to rusting of cantilevers, replacement work has taken up and replaced
911 No’s in pollution prone areas.
