Steel transmission towers

Transitional supports ЛЭП

Overhead power transmission poles

Higher and more massive than the intermediate ones — they serve to cross the line over rivers, roads, ravines and other engineering and natural obstacles.

Description

The transition support lifts the wires to a height sufficient to safely cross the barrier. This increases the height, weight and wind load, so the design is calculated separately, rather than being taken from a number of intermediate ones.

Such supports are often painted with red and white stripes and equipped with lighting equipment. To preserve the metal under painting, the structure is pre-galvanized. 110 kV transition supports are manufactured according to standard design 3.407.2-168.

We produce according to standard designs and according to customer's drawings, coated and marked according to project requirements. Shipment of shipping items by road and rail.

How we work

Request

We receive the schedule, questionnaire or structural drawings.

Calculation and quotation

We select the types for the route and climatic region and calculate the cost.

Detail drawings and manufacturing

We issue working drawings and manufacture the structures with hot-dip galvanising.

Shipment

Shipped as sections by road or rail.

Frequently asked questions

How does a transitional support differ from an intermediate one?

Height and weight. The transition lifts the wires over an obstacle — a river, a road, a ravine — and is calculated for increased wind load. It is often equipped with light-shielding and red-and-white markings.

What is the typical design for 110 kV transition poles?

According to the standard draft 3.407.2-168. Other voltage classes have their own standard designs, the specific cipher is set by the line design.

Do I need a light barrier?

The requirement is determined by the height of the structure and proximity to airfields — set by the project. We manufacture the support with preparation for the installation of barrage lights and with red and white coloring, if required.

Is it possible to order a custom height?

Yes. Crossings over wide obstacles are almost always individual — we work according to the customer's drawings КМ with the release of working drawings КМД.

Do you need power transmission poles?

Send the tower schedule or the route parameters — we will select the types and prepare a calculation.
