Monopole vs Lattice Tower Aesthetic • Slim shape • Cross-arms straight or « gullwing »
Surface on ground Urban area Lattice tower: 30 to 100 m² Tubular steel pole: 3 to 10 m² For special conditions, the monopoles are designed and optimized. Paris Bottom diameter can be reduced when using thick plates (thus heavy press brakes) and HYSS (high yield stress steel) Taiwan
Surface on ground Agricultural area Better conditions for farmers (ploughing, harvesting, etc….) Less property payment (depending of square meters)
Less ROW (right of way) • Reduced bottom diameter • Compact lines; post insulators
Installation Helicopter in remote access areas • Weight limited to 2.5 up to 5 tons per section • Special design • Special centering and orientating system required
Heavy weather conditions • Wind, tornadoes, typhoons • Avalanches • Seismes • Tree falls on conductors • Advantages of tubular poles: • HYSS – flexibility • Torsion behaviour • Lattice towers: rigidity • Low torsion ability France wind storm december 1999
Vandalism • Terrorist-proof • Lattice angles robbery
