AtkinsRéalis and LSTC were commissioned to undertake a Transmission Tower Design Investigation for Eirgrid. The scope of this project was to identify the most appropriate 400kV, 220kV, and 110kV structures for use on the Eirgrid overhead line system.
The Initial Stage of this work included an evaluation of the established types of transmission supports in relation to their applicability for use on Eirgrid’s Network. The advantages and disadvantages of each design were assessed in relation to a set of described criteria. The criteria included consideration of

– Structural Materials
– Insulator Types
– Tower & Pole Configurations
– EMF Considerations
– Environmental Considerations
