High-Voltage Towers

Εγκατάσταση Πυλώνων Υψηλής Τάσης

Project Summary

Assembly and erection of a series of high-voltage lattice steel transmission towers across mountainous terrain in Greece. MP Construction managed the complete scope from concrete base construction through to full tower erection and structural completion, working across multiple sites in remote locations.

Technical Details

Each tower foundation involved excavation, reinforced concrete pad foundation design and pour to resist uplift and compressive loads from the tower superstructure. Lattice steel tower sections were assembled using a custom climbing crane system deployed at each site. Tower bolted connections were torque-verified using calibrated hydraulic wrenches. All steelwork is hot-dip galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461. Work at heights above 40 metres required full fall arrest systems.

Challenges & Solutions

The primary challenge was logistics in remote mountain terrain with no vehicle access to tower bases. Material and equipment were transported by helicopter and on foot. Weather windows were strictly managed — no erection work was permitted with wind speeds above 15 m/s. A 24-hour communication and weather monitoring system was operated throughout the programme. All operatives were qualified for working at height and with high-voltage infrastructure.
