This would then enable the Turkish delegates to have a better framework to implement a nationwide LWMR strategy in Turkey.  Up to fourteen high-ranking officials from Turkey’s energy sector, as well as one representative from the U.S. Embassy in Ankara will travel to the United States to participate in the RTM.  

 

The RTM will include meetings with U.S. manufacturers of LWMR technology and equipment, trade associations, as well as representatives from relevant state and/or federal regulatory agencies, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).  In addition, the delegation will have the opportunity to visit certified training facilities to learn about leading U.S. technologies and their safe application when operating on live power lines and to tour U.S. manufacturing facilities.
