01 THE BRIDGE BETWEEN REGIONAL POWER SYSTEMS
The 400kV Transmission Tower operates at extra-high voltage. It connects large power grids across regions. This tower carries massive amounts of electricity over very long distances. The structure uses a wide-base four-leg design. This makes the tower extremely stable. However, it also makes each tower very heavy. The members are large. The steel plates are thick. We are equipped to handle these large components. Our factory has heavy-duty cranes and large-capacity drilling machines specifically for this type of work.

03 PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT
Controlling Heat During Thick-Plate Welding
Thick steel plates present a specific challenge. They can develop cracks if the welding temperature is not controlled. For the 400kV Transmission Tower, we apply pre-heating before we start any critical weld. We also use a slow cooling process after the weld is complete. This prevents hydrogen-induced cracking. Our welders monitor the interpass temperature continuously. We record these temperatures in our quality logs. This extra care ensures the weld remains strong for decades. It is not just about making a weld. It is about making a weld that will not fail under heavy electrical loads.






04 OVERALL VIEW
Dipping Large Members in a Deep Galvanizing Bath
Galvanizing extra-long and extra-wide members requires a large bath. Our galvanizing line has a deep zinc kettle. This allows us to dip large tower sections completely. We do not need to cut them into smaller pieces just for galvanizing. This keeps the protective layer continuous. We pay special attention to the inside of hollow sections and hard-to-reach corners. We use a digital thickness gauge to test these critical spots. Every part of the 400kV Transmission Tower receives full protection against rust.




05 ON-SITE CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS
Meeting Extreme Loading Conditions
This tower supports four or more conductor bundles. The weight is substantial. Ice buildup in winter can add even more weight. Our engineers use advanced software to simulate these combined loads. We design the 400kV Transmission Tower to handle ice loads of up to 20 millimeters. We also account for unbalanced tension. This happens when one conductor breaks. The tower must remain standing even in that event. Our design passes these extreme scenarios. We build safety into every joint and member.
