In an Air insulated outdoor switchyard, live conductors are tied at different levels in such a way that required phase to phase, phase to earth and ground clearances are maintained as per relevant national or international standards. To elevate the conductor to the desired height, steel support structures of different height are used. The structures can be lattice type or tubular pipe type.
The lattice type structures are lower in weight but comparatively more difficult to assemble and erect at site since various parts of the structure are loosely transported.
Tubular structures, although the weight is bit higher, but easy to mount at site on the plinth since number of assembly points are much less than lattice structures.
Satcon is practicing preparation of Design and Drawings of Switchyard structures like 15 to 30m high gantry towers having beams connected at different levels, 10-27m span gantry beams, 25-50m high lightning cum lighting masts, 33kV to 765kV equipment support structures using staad.pro software. The drawings of Satcon includes :
1. GA drawing,
2. Fabrication drawing,
3. Shop drawing.
Satcon has more than 22 years experience in delivering these drawings in India and many other countries.
