TRANSMISSION LINE TOWERS

PURPOSE :
The main purpose of TRANSMISSION LINE TOWER is to hold
the conductor, which is transmitting the power from generating
station to distribution end. As the conductors are bare and
carrying the power at high voltage need to hold it at required
height as per statutory requirements moreover the structure shall
be safe, reliable and shall withstand all the climatic loads during
the expected life of line.
