Oversail
High Speed Rail (Crewe – Manchester) Environmental Statement, Glossary, abbreviations and references, published by the Department for Transport in 2022, states in relation to oversail: ‘During works to overhead power lines, cranes will often be used. If part of the crane extends into the airspace above a surrounding property (e.g. the garden of a nearby residential property), this is referred to as oversailing. Where overhead power lines overlap property or land, this is also referred to as oversailing. During normal operations in high winds, overhead power lines can sometimes be blown, such that they swing out from their normal alignment. When this covers a property, this is referred to as oversailing.’
