Steel tube pylon

Steel tube pylon

A steel tube pylon is a pylon, which is manufactured from a steel tube. This type of pylon is generally assembled at the factory and set up on the power line's right of way with a crane. Because of its durability and ease of manufacturing and installation, many utilities in recent years prefer the use of steel tube and concrete pylons over wood and lattice steel pylons for new power lines and pylon replacements.

In Germany steel tube pylons are also established predominantly for medium voltage lines, in addition, for high voltage transmission lines or two electric circuits for operating voltages by up to 110 kV. In France steel tube pylons are used frequently also for pylons by 380 kV lines in the USA also for 500 kV lines.
