Megatro 115KV SUBSTATION FRAMEWORK
Substation framework is a high-voltage electric system facility. It is used to switch generators, equipment, and circuits or lines in and out of a system. Substation includes Gantries and Equipment Support Structures. Gantry structures are mainly used for guiding the power conductor from last tower near substation to the electrical equipments in a substation. This structure consists of a number of columns and Girder beams, which depend on number of circuits of the line. Gantries are also used for line crossing. Power conductors of one line can be under passed with the help of required number of gantries. Equipment Support Structures are columns, supporting electric equipments in a substation.
Depending upon the site and client's requirement, the Gantry and Equipment support structures can be mounted on substation building also.
Today, with over 10 years of experience and our commitment to excellence, MEGATRO remains an industry leader in the manufacture and design of steel tubular & angular & monopole structures for all Highway, Municipal, Custom, telecom, lighting and electric Utility applications. MEGATRO has a complete staff of professional engineering personnel trained in the PLS Pole program and three different manufacturing processes for producing steel towers, poles and other supports. We utilize the latest versions of PLS-CADD, PLS-POLE, TOWER, AutoCAD and other CAD software.
MEGATRO mainly provide every type of 115KV substation gantries structure for our clients, especially for American regions, we manufacture them with complicated technology and adopted sophisticated production line. After fabrication all 115KV substation steel structures 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.
