Angle legs and zig-zag bracing, cut and punched on our lines and bolted, so they ship flat and erect fast.

Beams spanning each 9 m bay, carrying the strain insulators.
04 / 06
Lattice peaks on each column for the overhead earth wire.
05 / 06
T-frames on pedestals under the isolators, with knee braces.
06 / 06
Columns, beams, peaks and supports.
We fabricate to your drawings and prove the fit in our own bay before anything ships. Open any line for the detail.
