An electricity pylon or transmission tower is a tall structure, usually a steel lattice tower, used to support overhead electricity conductors for electric power transmission. They are used in high voltage AC and DC systems as well as railway traction, and come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Transmission Tower structures can be classified by the way in which they support the line conductors. Suspension structures support the conductor vertically using suspension insulators. Strain structures resist net tension in the conductors and the conductors attach to the structure through strain insulators. Dead-end structures support the full weight of the conductor and also all the tension in it, and also use strain insulators.
Where the conductors are straight, a tangent tower is used. Structures are classified as tangent suspension, tangent strain, and tangent dead-end. Therefore, tangent tower also belong to power transmission tower, only its function differ from other type of tower.
MEGATRO fabricates every structure tangent tower by solid steel legs and angle iron cross members & pipes. Structures can reach heights up to 200 meter. MEGATRO is one of the few manufactures who assemble a face of every tower section. This attention to quality may not be the cheapest process but it does insure every tower meets our high standards of quality. And it helps to reduce on-site construction cost due to mismatched assemblies.
After fabrication all towers are delivered to the galvanizing facility to be Hot DIP Galvanized. Towers are processed through the facility by Caustic Cleaning, Pickling, and then Fluxing. These strict procedures insure years of maintenance free towers.
MEGATRO's tangent tower systems can accommodate a variety of cross-arm. MEGATRO also offers a wide variety of accessories and mounts.
