The pole material selection process is complex, considering the multiple options available in different corrosive and environmental conditions. Pole materials available for transmission utilities ...

Compared with latticed towers, tubular steel poles are a popular structure choice for high-voltage transmission line applications because of their small footprint, ease of installation and fewer ...

This is the first of a two-part series. Part 1 contains information regarding the scope of the electrical transmission ...

The entire steel pole project originally cost $31.7 million, Newsday reported at the time, and was intended to storm-harden high-voltage transmission lines then on smaller wooden poles.

The bulk of this particular project will involve removing the towering H-frame double wood poles that currently support the line. Those poles will be replaced with single steel poles towering up ...

The $15 million project will include replacing existing transmission lines and is expected to improve the electric transmission network in the Aboite area, I&M officials said in a news release.

Within a few months, all of the old wooden transmission poles dotted along a main thoroughfare in Bryan will be replaced by 90-foot concrete and steel models — many of ...

The current height is around 90 feet. A second option is to replace the steel pole with a wooden pole. However, this option would actually add more poles to the area to support the transmission line.
