Steel transmission towers

Intermediate supports ЛЭП

Overhead power transmission poles

Wires and lightning protection cables are maintained at the required level between the anchor sections. The most widespread type of supports: there are more of them on straight sections of the highway than all the others combined.

The tower weight and dimensions are confirmed when the detail drawings are issued for the wind and ice region of the site.

Voltage classes

Switch to the desired voltage class to see the other types of supports at this level.

Description

The intermediate support is not designed for the high weight of the wires: it accepts the vertical load from their weight, ice and wind pressure, but not the one-sided tension. Due to this, the construction is lighter and cheaper than an anchor-angle one, and on a long track this is a decisive cost factor.

They are indicated by the letters P and PS, followed by the voltage class. The PS is an intermediate free—standing one. The letter "T" in the stamp indicates a rope with two cables, the number after the hyphen shows the number of chains: odd — single chain, even — double chain.

We manufacture according to standardized standard designs for the voltage class and according to the customer's drawings КМ. Anticorrosive protection is hot—dip galvanizing according to ГОСТ 9.307-21, the service life of the structure is at least 50-70 years.

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 an intermediate support differ from an anchor support?

The intermediate one only accepts the weight of the wires and the wind load, while the anchor one also accepts full one—sided gravity. Therefore, the anchor line is heavier and more expensive, and the intermediate one is placed where the highway runs straight. You can't replace one with the other: these are different calculation schemes.

How many intermediate supports per kilometer of line?

It depends on the stress class, terrain, and estimated span. These are usually several supports per kilometer, and the exact number is taken from the route design. To calculate the delivery, it is enough to send a list of supports from the project.

What does the letter "T" in the stamp mean?

A wire rope with two lightning protection cables. The letter "P" in the stamp means the transfer of the wires of the tier to the middle one, the "+" sign indicates the height of the prefix to the base support.

Do you manufacture to customer drawings?

Yes. We work according to standard designs and drawings КМ of the customer. In the second case, we produce working drawings КМД and produce according to them.

Do you need intermediate power poles?

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