10. Valmont's design capability in Transmission poles and substations • Professional engineering team specializes in transmission pole structures • Valmont engineers members of design standard committee ASCE • International design code: • American Standards: ASCE, ASSHTO, TIA/EIA • European and International Standards • Finite element design programs • AutoCAD drafting systems • Global engineering capabilities • Full scale testing facility • Design methodology – Non-linear Elastic Analysis

11. Unique Advantages to support export projects • Solid international business experience • Strong design & engineering teams with working knowledge of international design code • International steel suppliers • One quality assurance program for the global manufacturing facilities • Common quality control procedures based on international norms • Specialized international team • Logistics coordination

12. Highmast manufacturing plants Coil steel Plasma cutting Break Press CNC Drilling machine

13. Submerged Arc Seam Welders

14. Galvanized finish with optional powder coating or liquid paint

15. Quality control • Material • Dimensions • Welding– Ultrasonic insepctions & Magnetic Particle • Galvanizing

16. ISO Certification for every plant • ISO 9001 quality system • Valmont USA Manufacturing Specifications • Manufacturing & Inspection Norms based on ASTM • AWS certified welders and inspectors

17. Steel Pole Advantages • Less right-of-way • Better appearance • Less components, fast installation • Better reliability under extreme conditions • Flexibility in design • Reliable performance and long service life

18. Less Right-of-way • Smaller foundation takes less land • Efficiently placed along highways, roads, rail tracks • Can be installed at locations with very limited space

19. Better Appearance • Trend of city beautification • Remove “visual” pollution • Need structure compatible with environment • Bulky clutter lattice tower visually unpleasant • 85% public prefer poles over lattice towers

20. Better Reliability under Extreme Condition • Steel monopoles are more flexible than lattice towers, concrete or wood pole under heavy loads • In broken conductor case, bigger deflection of the steel pole reduces tension in intact span and induces smaller bending moment at base • Round or multi-side profile induces less wind load • In past cases where lattice towers and wood poles failed in hurricane and tornado, no steel poles were damaged

21. Flexibility in Design • Various structure configuration – monopoles and frames • Different voltages and circuits on same pole • Distribution under-built • Multiple circuits in different orientation • Adding lines for telephone, cable TV

22. Steel poles shapes • Configuration - single pole, H-frame, Y-frame, X-frame, 3-pole structure

23. Steel poles connections available between sections • Sections connections – slip joints, flange joints, butt welded joints

24. Steel pole foundations options • Foundation types – concrete foundations with anchor bolts, direct embedded, caisson foundations

25. Steel poles finishes • Surface protection – galvanizing, weathering steel, powder coating over galvanizing
