Few people appreciate the level of detail that goes into every transmission structure decision. Factors like load, span, wind, soil, terrain and installation are just the beginning. At Valmont® Utility, we understand the complexity of transmission structures, which is why we offer options like PyraMAX® and Specialty Structures for truly unique needs.
With transmission structures from Valmont Utility, you get the one thing you need most – flexibility. We optimize flexibility through:
- Load Sizes — Our transmission structures can handle loads from one circuit up to six, and 66 kV to over 1,000 kV.
- Longer Spans — You give us the length of the span you need to cover, and we'll recommend the best transmission structure type and then design it just for you.
- Environmental Considerations — Are weather extremes a factor? What about the wind? Is the soil good quality? Is the terrain flat or mountainous? Is seasonal flooding an issue? No matter the environment, we have a proven transmission structure that can handle it.
- Installation — A structure that’s difficult to install isn’t a good structure. We consider key issues like site accessibility, environmental impact and skilled-labor availability in every transmission structure we recommend.
- Durability — No matter the structure, Valmont Utility offers the coatings and finishes (including TriFORCE™) to stand up against the elements – both above and below grade.
