Tower Structure

What is a Tower Structure?

A tower is an above ground support structure specifically used for the attachment of antennas. Towers are unoccupied structures with limits based on height and placement use based on property zoning. A monopole is a specific type of tower which is monolithic in design.

 

What are the 3 types of towers?

Three tower types: Towers are usually classified into three categories: guyed or cable-supported, free-standing or self-standing, and monopole. The self-supporting and monopole towers are similar in that neither requires guy wires or any other support structure.   Available in different fabrication options, Tower Structure options offered come in different height or size choices as per the specifications provided by the customers. Here, our expertise lies in developing single, twin and multiple circuit transmission lines towers that find use in power and energy sector. These towers can be offered in different designs in 110 KV, 132 KV, 220 KV and 400 KV options. Further, we also provide support for suitable foundation support as required as per the land layout like hard rock, marshy land and others. Our expertise also lies in offering custom support for fabrication & erection as demanded by the customers. Transmission and distribution division provides total turnkey solution for power sector customers. We are one of the leading companies for the engineering design and fabrication of Tower Structure. We have strong hold in the market in very short span of time because of well-knotted, well-structured move of the partners technically advanced in house latest manufacturing techniques. Proper design, delivery, quality, cost and effective product to clients in time are our motto.

Specifications:

Height / Length Required: Height of the assembled and erected tower or support structure or the length of a tower section.

Material:
Your choices are…
Aluminum Aluminum alloys provide high toughness at moderate strength levels, with very good corrosion resistance and less-than-half the density of steel.  With the addition of copper, aluminum alloys can be heat-treated for higher hardness and strength levels. The strength-to-weight ratio, weldability and corrosion resistance makes aluminum alloys a commonly selected material for aircraft and marine applications.  Most aluminum alloys have good availability.
Steel – Stainless Alloys of iron, chrome and nickel and other alloying elements. Stainless is too expensive for most tower applications, but the high corrosion resistance may find application for extensions / masts, mounting hardware, pedestals, tripods or small towers for marine applications.
Steel Carbon and alloy steels have high toughness, strength, and good weldability.  Plain carbon and low-alloy steels have good availability and moderate cost. The structure should be painted or coated to prevent degradation by rust or corrosion.
Composite / Plastic Plastic and pultruded fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials provide an alternative to the more commonly applied materials.  The dielectric and nonreflective nature of some plastics and composites provide an advantage over metal structures in certain antenna applications. Their good electrical insulation characteristics make them safer when used for mounting brackets or cross arms on power line poles or towers.  While more costly, fiberglass reinforced plastics can provide superior strength compared to wood, and reduced maintenance costs compared to wood and some metals. Plastics without reinforcements typically will not have the strength for large tower applications, but they may be suitable for smaller mounts, masts / extensions or stealth-structure facings.
Wood Pressure-treated wood for structural / building applications.  Often used for utility poles or lighting applications.
Other Other materials not listed.
