Tower Testing And Inspections
rom 69 kV up to 500 kV, we design, engineer, and inspect a full range of overhead transmission line support structures to precisely suit the growing needs of our utility customers. In addition, we provide custom solutions for complex base plates, cross arms, and pole accessories.
We utilize state-of-the-art design and detailing software to optimize transmission line structures (single circuit, double circuit, H-frames, substation, custom structures) and identify stress concentrations in critical areas through finite element analysis.
