consist

erection of towers member by member.

of

The 4

main leg members of first section of the tower

are first erected and guyed of.

The cross

braces then assembled. For assembling second

section a light gin pole is placed on top of the
corner legs for raising the second section of the
tower. Afterwards the gin pole is shifted to top
of second section leg to raise third section this

Section method :Major sections of the tower are

assembled on the ground and same are
erected as units.
Either mobile crane or gin pole of 10m
long is
used.
Ground
assembly(Proto)
:This method consist of assembling the tower
on ground and erecting it as a complete unit.
The complete tower is assembled in line wise
position to allow Xarms to fitted. After
assembly is completed tower is picked up
from ground with the help of crane and
carried to is location and set on its
foundation.
This method is not is useful when the towers
are large and heavy and the locations are

Helicopter method :In this method the tower is erected in section.

Bottom section is first lifted on to the stub
and then the upper section is lifted and
bolted to first section and the process is
repeated till the tower is erected. Some times
complete assembled tower is raised with the
help of helicopter.

This method is adopted

when approach is impossible.

are lifted In all spans by hand height.
LEPTY made with steel rope of 12mm of 200m and
400m lengths with four sheave pulleys on either
end.

Final tension /Stringing

T&P required:1. Leg winch
2. Sag boards
3. 100 MT joint compressor with die sets
suitable for panther, Zebra Moose and
earth wire.
4. Earth wire flat clamps
5. D shackles 16mm/25mm
6. Binoculars
7. Tractor / Tension puller

8. Travelling speed will be 5 8 KM per hour.

9. if speed is low causes swinging of traveler and insulator
hardware and higher speed cause damage.
10. Tension load will be around 2000 2500
Kgs
11. For 3rd crossarm stringing tension will be
500 Kgs
12. For 400 KV pilot wire and tensioner is used. First
pilot wire will be passed through the entire reach with
Tractor. Conductor is winded on Tensioner. Pilot wire is
knotted to conductor. The other end of pilot wire is
connected to Puller.slowly puller load applied and
tensioner is releasing the conductor without any
problem and make up at this with STH. Once paving is
completed again load Tensioner till sag point and
guyed. Then by Lepty and Tractor make marking
and cater the end.

13. Measurement of sag with equal supports use sag

boards
between the two towers of sag span
14. Measurement of sag where supports are at different height
or single spans. Use Dynamo meter for tension readings

15. Sagging section length should not exceed 5KM or 15 spans

16. Physical measurement of ground clearance on roads

and
important places.

by more than 3% from the mean sag of all
the conductors in the same span subject of
a maximum of 150mm.
