Projects

Changes to a 380 kV transmission line require a clear understanding of how the proposed configuration affects its structures. Tower assessment connects the revised conductor and earth-wire forces with the capacity of members, connections and foundations.

Our engineering support focuses on defining the relevant loading conditions, assessing the affected structures and developing modifications where required. Clear calculations and documented assumptions help the project team evaluate its options and coordinate the next design stage.

Foundation design for a 110 kV line begins with the interaction between tower reactions, ground conditions and the practical requirements of construction. The engineering task is to define a foundation solution that addresses the relevant actions and can be developed around the site constraints.

We support the design and assessment of foundations using the available geotechnical information and structural inputs. The work can include comparison of foundation options, structural verification and coordination of the tower connection, together with temporary support where refurbishment requires it.

The structural conditions during erection, conductor stringing or dismantling can change from one operation to the next. Engineering support for construction connects the proposed working sequence with the forces and support arrangements that need to be assessed.

We review the relevant stages and develop structural checks for temporary supports, auxiliary structures and guying arrangements within the agreed scope. Defined forces and documented assumptions give the site team a clear technical basis for coordinating the planned method and identifying questions that need to be resolved before work proceeds.
