Description

Terminal tower is used when the overhead power line terminates and directions changed, and is connected to substation equipment, or transitions to underground cable. They are used in high voltage AC and DC systems as well as railway traction, and come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.
Transmission Tower structures can be classified by the way in which they support the line conductors. Terminal tower supports the full weight of the conductor and also all the tension in it, and also use strain insulators.
Where the power transmission line must change direction, then angle towers are used. Structures are classified as angle suspension, angle strain, and angle dead-end.

For crossings of large bodies of water, wide freeways, or valleys, where the span width of the conductors is very long, specific constructions must be used to achieve a wider distance between the conductors, mostly to prevent short-circuits which may occur when conductors come in contact with one another due to wind or other interferences. Therefore, termination tower was used at this condition, these towers may be built as H-frame towers, or may have each conductor placed on a single tower or mast. In every case, these towers are built more stably than most of the other towers used, as the wide span between towers means that much greater forces are placed on these towers.

MEGATRO fabricates every structure termination and angle tower by solid steel legs and angle iron cross members & pipes. Structures can reach heights up to 200 meter. MEGATRO is one of the few manufactures who assemble a face of every tower section. This attention to quality may not be the cheapest process but it does insure every tower meets our high standards of quality. And it helps to reduce on-site construction cost due to mismatched assemblies.
