For these purposes, special reinforced concrete foundation slabs are used that meet the established GOST parameters. They are centrally supplied to customers by METENERGO (details on the supplier's website https://metenergo.com/catalog/sk/). You can select the required type and name using the online catalog, the classification of this type of product in it is carried out according to generally accepted engineering and technical marking.
Types of foundations for power transmission towers
Reinforced concrete bases for power transmission towers are factory-made from high-quality concrete grades. They are centrally delivered to the place where the overhead power line is laid and are used immediately before the installation of the supports themselves. This type of reinforced concrete products is not susceptible to the effects of natural factors and temperature changes. The foundations can be dug into the ground or installed on its surface with the obligatory alignment of the horizontal plane. According to their purpose, they are divided into 2 main types:
- Depending on the manufacturing format - monolithic products or consisting of several prefabricated parts.
- The shape and principle of operation - pile or mushroom.
The calculation and selection of the type of foundations in the design of power transmission lines is carried out taking into account a number of operational factors - climatic conditions, the specifics of the soil at the installation site, the technical compatibility of the base with the support installed on it, the magnitude of the expected operational and critical loads.
You can get more complete information about the types and technical characteristics of reinforced concrete bases for power transmission line supports using the official website of the METENERGO company, which supplies them directly from manufacturers. Preliminary consultation of clients is carried out by phone, the number of which is indicated on the main page of the Internet resource.
