DESIGN

Our sections are designed using S355J2 galvanized steel, the same material that is used on transmission towers worldwide. This material is corrosion resistant, durable and extremely strong. The sections are box-shaped and have no protruding flanges ensuring easy handling and storage.

Extensive calculations comparing steel and aluminium tower sections were done. Using steel instead of aluminium decreases the amount of sections required due to aluminium’s strength and stiffness limitations. Using less sections decrease the amount of required storage space as well as construction time. Another advantage of using steel instead is that it is less expensive than aluminium.

Our foundation structure is light weight and dismountable and requires no lifting equipment. Our base foundations are designed with a multiple articulated universal joint ensuring rotation in all directions. The foundation plates have holes at strategic points to permit dowel anchor pins to be driven through, thereby securing the footing against lateral movement. This provides a quick erection of the structures involving the minimum amount of earthworks necessary to create a level platform. We include earthing rods to properly earth the structures.

The guy wire anchors are direct embedment spread anchors and can be installed in any terrain. The required hydraulic equipment and tools are included and an anchor can be fully installed within 15 minutes.
