Examines Differences, Benefits between Powerline Support Structures
FORT WORTH, Texas, Jan. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Falcon Steel has released a white paper to help power delivery providers understand the relative advantages of lattice towers and steel poles used in transmission support structures. A leading producer of steel structures for power delivery systems, Texas-based Falcon Steel is the only manufacturer and fabricator of both lattice towers and steel poles based in the United States.
Titled, The Lattice Tower or the Steel Pole: A Compatibility Comparison, the white paper covers three core areas where the lattice tower and steel pole fabrication process differs:
The paper also reviews how variations affect cost differences between the two types of structures, as well as when one structure might be more appropriate and cost-effective than the other.
"Lattice towers are a decades-old solution, and steel poles are a much newer option that has grown exponentially over the past couple of decades," said Claus Sutor, executive vice president, engineering and marketing for Falcon Steel. "Both options have advantages and disadvantages, and aren't necessarily interchangeable. Our goal is to help providers maximize the benefits of each."
The white paper is available for download from Falcon Steel here.
