MANUFACTURER: МETALOGALVA (PORTUGAL)
SUPPLY DESCRIPTION:
18 MSP supports (manufactured by Мetalogalva (Portugal)) have been supplied for capital improvement of the 110 kV “Kharkiv-Lugovaya-CHP plant 5” overhead line.
MSP supports (multisided steel poles) are assembled over cone-shaped tubular multisided segments.
MSPs possess the following major advantages over traditional metal lattice poles:
- A small bearing area allotment required for the support;
- Reduced construction costs due to high erection speed (3-4 times faster than the one for traditional supports);
- Reliability, and, therefore, reduced operating costs;
- High degree of protection against vandalism.
100% of the pole structures are protected with hot-dip galvanizing, which is based on immersion of steel structures in molten zinc.
