Concrete pylon

A concrete pylon is an electricity pylon or free-standing transmission tower made ​​of reinforced concrete. Concrete poles are usually in the concrete plant after the 1907 spun concrete. Production and use in the construction and civil engineering Bacsa, Erich; Articles from the magazine: Swiss engineer and architect ISSN: 0251-0960 Vol: 99, No.7, 1981, page 107-116, fig, Lit made of spun concrete process invented and erected at the site. There are also concrete poles, which are cast on site, the transition to concrete towers such as the Stuttgart TV Tower is fluid, is in concrete columns, in contrast to concrete towers, usually the interior is not accessible to man. Concrete poles are normally used in Germany only for lines with operating voltages up to 30 kV. In exceptional cases concrete poles are also used for 110 kV lines, both Dhu - lines as well as for railway power lines. In Switzerland, concrete poles are used with heights of up to 59.5 meters (highest precast concrete pylon at Littau ) even for 380 - kV transmission lines. Concrete poles as masts are often used as a small radio towers for mobile communications networks and as antenna support for television and radio stations to medium power. Concrete poles are to be found in overhead lines of electric railways in Germany with round, in Austria with a rectangular cross section.

Concrete poles in situ concrete construction can be and have been used for structures with more than 60 meters in height, as a 66 -meter mast of a 380 kV line at the thermal power station Reuter West. Such masts are similar to industrial chimneys and there are even designs which serve as a chimney. In China, some high masts of the overhead line crossings wider rivers were realized as concrete pole from in-situ concrete. The highest of these poles belong to the Yangtze overhead line crossing Nanking with a height of 257 meters.
