1.0 INTRODUCTION
I underwent 28 days training in MK CONSTRUCTION. Promoters which
deals with construction and design of Tower. Thus I utilized 28 days training period
in reviewing contract administration by the company in particular projects and also
learned construction aspects in the particular project.
the necessary distance form one another and form earth, with the specified factor of
safety to facilitate the flow of power through conductor form one point to another with
reliability, security and safety. Transmission structures are one of the most visible
elements of the electric transmission system. They support the conductors used to
transport electric power from generation sources to customer load. Transmission
lines carry electricity over long distances at high voltages, typically between 115 kV
and 765 kV (115,000 volts and765, 000 volts).
The selection of the most suitable types of tower for transmission lines
depends on the actual terrain through which the line traverses. Experience has,
however, shown that any combination of the following types of towers are generally
suitable for most of the lines:
i) Suspension towers ( with I or V suspension insulator strings )
ii) Tension tower
In this report, discussed about the suspension tower design and
construction as per IS 802 Part 1 1995 Use of structural steel in overhead
Transmission line towers - Code of practice & IS 12427: 1988 Transmission
tower bolts.
a) Tangent towers
b) Intermediate towers
c) Light angle towers
Tangent towers
To be used on straight runs only. Angle of suspension ring is 0.
Intermediate towers
To be used on straight runs and up to 2 line deviation.
NOTE- In the selection of tension towers either (e) above or a combination of (c)
and (d) may be followed.
(i) The minimum factor of safety for conductors shall be based on their ultimate
tensile strength.
(ii) The conductor tension at 32 C (90 F) without external load shall not
exceed the following percentages of the ultimate tensile strength of the conductor.
. . 35 %
. . 25 %
Accordingly, the values for the various voltages, 66kV to 400 kV, are:
1) 66kV - 5.49m
2) 132kV - 6.10m
3) 220kV - 7.01m
4) 400kV - 8.84m

3) TOWER FABRICATION
3.1 BOLTING
1) The minimum diameter of bolts used for the erection of transmission line
towers is 12 mm. Other sizes commonly used are 16 mm and 20 mm.
2) The length of the bolt should be such that the threaded portion does not
lie in the plane of contact of members.

3) Table 3.1 gives the minimum cover to free edge and bolt spacing as per
IS: 802 (Part II)-1978 Code of Practice for Use of Structural Steel in
Overhead Transmission line Towers. The bolts used with minimum
angle sizes restrict the edge distances as given in Table 3.2 for the bolt
sizes of 12 mm, 16 mm and 20 mm used on 40 x6mm, 45x6 mm and
60x 8 mm angle sizes respectively.

placed and all side of the lacings have been bolted up, all the guys are thrown off
except one which is used to lower the gin pole. Sometimes whole one face of the
tower is assembled on the ground, hoisted and supported in position. The
opposite face is similarly assembled and hoisted and then bracing angles
connecting these two faces are fitted.
Note: average output per gang per month will be approximately 80 MT. The man
power may be regulated depending upon Requirements
