Tower design & type testing

Tower design up to 765 kV, detailed drawings and engineering support through prototype type testing.

The engineering challenge

A clear basis.
A coordinated design.

Tower development connects electrical clearances, geometry, loading, member design and prototype behaviour. We develop transmission tower designs up to 765 kV and the drawings needed for fabrication, with engineering support for prototype type testing and review of test observations.

Where we contribute

Support through the details.

The scope is agreed around your project stage and available inputs.

Geometry and structural design

Tower geometry, loading and structural analysis based on the specified configuration, electrical clearances and project design criteria.

Fabrication documentation

Structural drawings, fabrication drawings, shop sketches and bills of materials for the tower design, with member and connection details coordinated for the agreed scope.

Special tower configurations

Design support for river crossings, rail crossings and crossings above or below existing power lines, with the tower arrangement developed around the clearance and site requirements.

Type-testing support

Engineering support for prototype test preparation, coordination and review of test observations. The testing programme and our role are agreed with the project team.
