Transmission tower designs have evolved significantly over the years. Narrow-base, multicircuit towers are being used in place of conventional towers to ensure structural optimisation. These towers reduce right-of-way (RoW) requirements, minimise the visual impact, enable […]
Surveillance techniques help determine the number of transmission towers required for laying a transmission line through the shortest possible route. These techniques also aid in selecting the right tower foundations based on the topography and […]
The transmission network in India has grown significantly over the past few years driven by the need to support the growing load and provide connectivity to generation projects. Between 2012-13 and 2017-18, the transmission line […]
Over the years, significant improvements have been made in transmission tower designs. Monopoles and multi-circuit towers, and micropile tower foundations are fast gaining traction. Advanced tower designs have reduced the right-of-way (RoW) requirement, minimised the […]
The transmission segment is grappling with the twin challenges of setting up new transmission lines and enhancing the national grid capacity. High capacity corridors, renewable integration and larger transformer capacity have increased the demand for […]
In a power transmission system, asset management decisions are made on a continuous basis during the lifespan of a transmission line, with emphasis on extending the life of the assets, maintaining or improving reliability and […]
A conducive policy framework has helped the transmission sector to develop consistently at a significant growth rate. The growth is likely to continue over the next few years. “The power transmission segment is currently the […]
Towers are a crucial part of a transmission line project, carrying overhead lines at a safe height over the ground, right from the generation plant to the load centres. On an average, towers and their […]
With a growing focus on expanding and strengthening the transmission network, a number of new tower installation technologies have emerged, which aim to improve the efficiency of installation and address site-specific challenges. The built-up method, section […]
The government’s ambitious renewable energy capacity addition targets will require a significant expansion of transmission capacity in difficult terrain and remote areas. In this regard, surveying can play a crucial role in setting up transmission […]
Arobust tower foundation is indispensable for a reliable transmission network. New tower foundation designs seek to customise structures to suit the local terrain and reduce the time required for construction. Precast and grillage foundations, which […]
