EMERGENCY RESTORATION TOWER
 If electrical power supply is interrupted due to
damage or destruction of transmission towers,
there will be huge financial loss to the
transmission utilities.
 The use of ERS permits restoration of power
transmission in a matter of few hours by creating
a by – pass until the original structure is restored.
 When the original towers are restored and
reconnected to the grid, the ERS is dismantled
and stored for future use.

21. CASE STUDY 1
GHAZIABAD: 132 kV LINE BETWEEN
VAISHALI AND SAHIBABAD
21

22. • Ghaziabad Development Authority
requested UPPTCL to re-route their
132 kV Transmission Line from Vaishali
to Sahibabad which was a hindrance
for completing their flyover project.
• UPPTCL decided to shift the line and
construct a multi circuit tower in place
of existing tower and also uprate the
line by changing the conductor from
ACSR to ACCC.
CASE STATEMENT
22

23. • Initial and detailed survey were made
before and after the award of contract.
• After detailed survey, the technical
team concluded that 3 ERS tower of
30M high will be required in view of the
multi storey mansions and residential
apartments.
• Erection works began on 21st April and
was finished by 27th April.
SURVEY
23

24. • After erection, we waited for the shutdown of 33kV
Line that was crossing the section between ERS 1
and Multi circuit as well as a 11kV Line that was
crossing the section between ERS 1 & ERS 2.
• In the meantime, stringing works were carried out
between ERS 2 and ERS 3.
• On 30th April, UPPTCL provided a shutdown of 33
kV Line for 2 hours within which the stringing work
between the Multi Circuit tower and ERS 1 was
done.
CHALLENGES
33 kV Line Crossing24

25. • Later on, 1st May, shutdown on 11kV Line
was provided for 2 hours to complete the
stringing between ERS 1 & ERS 2.
• Stringing between ERS 3 and 132 kV tower
was delayed by 5 days due to non-
availability of shutdown.
• After the line is shifted to ERS, UPPTCL
dismantled the existing 132 kV Towers and
replaced them with Multi Circuit Towers.
CHALLENGES
11 kV Line Crossing25

26.  Even after installing the ERS, we were not able to
string the line as UPPTCL could not provide
shutdown on the 132kV Line.
 This shows how critical that particular line is and
it would have taken years to complete the project
without ERS.
 Both the flyover project and line uprating would
have been on hold.
IMPACT
26

27. • No heavy machinery or earth movers were
introduced for execution of above, other
than for transportation.
• It is worthwhile to mention that, after
shifting the line to ERS, there was a
severe hailstorm but the tower withstood
the same without any damage to it.
• The bypass line is in charged state since
then serving utility customers who didn’t
have to undergo suspension of service.

29. GHAZIABAD: 400 kV ATUR –
INDRA PURAM LINE
CASE STUDY 2
29

30. • A 400 kV Transmission Line between Atur
and Indira Puram, abandoned since March
2017 and was likely to remain idle for at
least three months, due to a line crossing
over 132 kV Single Circuit Transmission
Line between Loni and Mohan Nagar in
Uttar Pradesh.
• The bottom crossarm of 132 kV Tower was
at a height of 53m which didn’t provide the
necessary clearance required for stringing
the 400kV line.
• The situation was that the height of 132kV
tower has to be reduced and it required a
shutdown for 5 to 7 days which was not
possible.
CASE STATEMENT
30

31. • Our engineering team conducted a
survey and made a detailed report.
• This project was a huge challenge as
the particular corridor contains a
Highway crossing, River crossing and a
Flyover Crossing.
• After analyzing the detailed report, three
locations were chosen for ERS erection.
SURVEY
31

32. • Based on the experience from previous
project, new techniques were followed in
order to fasten the erection time.
• Also as the crew was experienced, the entire
erection was done in 3 days whereas the
previous work took 6 days.
• We did a challenging feat of taking the
bypass line across the highway without any
disruption of highway traffic even for a
minute
EXPERIENCE
Flyover Crossing32

33. • On 7th June, UPPTCL provided a shutdown
for 3 hours within which we carried out the
stringing on ERS and destringing of 132 kV
Line.
• Again after installing the tower, there was
heavy rain and stormy wind but no damage
was made to the ERS.
• No heavy machinery or earth movers were
introduced for execution of above, other than
for transportation.
OUTCOME
River Crossing33

34. OUTCOME

35. • This exercise helped in completing a project which would evacuate 580 MW line where
substantial investment was already made on 98% stretch of the line and associated substation
would have remained idle for indefinite period.
• Benefits of this exercise was higher than cost by exponential proportions.

37. INTRODUCTION
 Traditionally overhead transmission lines have
been built on lattice type structures.
 Significant ROW and aesthetics issues have
stalled construction of new transmission line
corridors.
 Solutions with narrow corridors and smaller
footprints became the crying need of the day for
completion of critical transmission corridors.
 Replacement of traditional structures with
monopole kind of structures is a significant step
in this direction.

38.  Less right-of-way
 Small foundations take less land and
hence reduce the foot-print.
 For Example a 132 kV Mono pole
can be erected within a foot print of
2 Mtrs.
 Efficiently erected along Highways
and Railway Lines

40.  Various structure configuration –
monopoles and frames.
 Different voltages and circuits on same
pole.
 Distribution under-built.
 Multiple circuits in different orientation.

41.  Consist of tapered steel tubes that fit over each other to form a
stable pole.
 May be guyed or self supported and be fitted with climbing
rungs where necessary.
 Sections should be made from hollow, heavy duty, thick steel
tubes, flanged steel tubes or low-alloy, high-strength steel.
 Shaft section should be a constant-tapered hollow steel section.
 Slip joints should be designed with suitable engineering
practices.
 Should be made from galvanized hollow steel pipes or high
strength steel
