a) Setting of stubs:
Template
Probe setting
B/B & diagonal at Template top
B/B & diagonal at stub top Ram bus shape
Stub cleats with B&N 2 each
Extra cleats to avoid failure of foundation
due to tower falling.
Threads to bisect
LP&AP
Template height at centre point & joining of
2 threads
 b) After 14 days of curing

Built-up method:- This method consist of erection of

towers member by member. The 4 main leg members of
first section of the tower are first erected and guyed of. The
cross braces then assembled. For assembling second section
a light gin pole is placed on top of the corner legs for
raising the second section of the tower. Afterwards the gin
pole is shifted to top of second section leg to raise third
section this process is continued till complete tower is
erected.
Section method :-
Major sections of the tower are assembled on the
ground and same are erected as units.
Either mobile crane or gin pole of 10m long is
used.
Ground assembly(Proto) :-

This method consist of assembling the tower on

ground and erecting it as a complete unit. The
complete tower is assembled in line wise position
to allow Xarms to fitted. After assembly is
completed tower is picked up from ground with
the help of crane and carried to is location and
set on its foundation.
This method is not is useful when the towers are
large and heavy and the locations are difficult.
Helicopter method :-

In this method the tower is erected in section.

Bottom section is first lifted on to the stub and
then the upper section is lifted and bolted to first
section and the process is repeated till the tower
is erected. Some times complete assembled tower
is raised with the help of helicopter. This method
is adopted when approach is impossible .

insulators on all angle type towers.

For ensuring insulation co-ordination the suspension or tension

strings on approach and terminal towers near the station ends
upto a length of 1.5 Km shall be provided with adjustable arcing
horns on tower side and fixed arcing horns on line side, keeping
the arcing gap as may be stipulated by the En gineer at site.

shall not be used.
For suspension towers 70 KN insulators are hoisted
with Aerial rollers. The Aerial rollers are like single
sleeve pulley .Before hoisting of insulators the M pins
should be checked thoroughly for their opening so that
the insulation will not detached during stringing.

a)Paving out of conductor

b)Rough sag
c)Final tension / stringing
METHOD

 SLACK OR LAY OUT METHOD.

 PAYING BY TENSIONER PULLER.

Tractor/Tensioner
Turn table (5T or 10T)
Conductor socks
Automatic come along clamp for conductor and earth wire
20mm and 25mm D shackles
Wooden packs
Ground rollers
Aerial rollers
Crowbars
Hacksaw blade
Cutting pliers
Screw driver
Spanners
 1. Generally drum lengths are

Panther 2KM
Zebra 1KM
Moose 1KM
Earth wire 2KM

2. Place the conductor drum on TURN TABLE & unwind it.

3. Pull the end of conductor over ground rollers and

Rough sag
T&P required:-

Rough sag leads

Steel ropes 10mm, 12mm, 15mm and 16mm
Come along clamp (7 bolts)
Slings (20mm)
4 Sheave pulley
2 Sheave pulley
Single Sheave pulley
Manila ropes 12mm, 16mm, 18mm and 20mm
Single and double end socks
Turn buckle
D shakles 20 mm
Dead man 1to 1.2 m
6. By connecting the other end to LEPTY do the rough sag by
pulling with tractor/tensioner and see that conductors
are lifted In all spans by hand height.

LEPTY made with steel rope of 12mm of 200m and

400m lengths with four sheave pulleys on either end.

7. Common problem is BARD CAGING

Final tension /Stringing

T&P required:-

1. Leg winch
2. Sag boards
3. 100 MT joint compressor with die sets
suitable for panther, Zebra Moose and earth
wire.
4. Earth wire flat clamps
5. D shackles 16mm/25mm
6. Binoculars
7. Tractor / Tension puller
8. Travelling speed will be 5 – 8 KM per hour.

9. if speed is low causes swinging of traveler and insulator

hardware and higher speed cause damage.
10. Tension load will be around 2000 – 2500
Kgs
11. For 3 rd crossarm stringing tension will be 500
Kgs
12. For 400 KV pilot wire and tensioner is used. First pilot
wire will be passed through the entire reach with Tractor.
Conductor is winded on Tensioner. Pilot wire is knotted to
conductor. The other end of pilot wire is connected to
Puller.slowly puller load applied and tensioner is
releasing the conductor without any problem and make up
at this with STH. Once paving is completed again load
Tensioner till sag point and guyed. Then by Lepty and
Tractor make marking and cater the end.
13. Measurement of sag with equal supports use sag boards
between the two towers of sag span

14. Measurement of sag where supports are at different height

or single spans. Use Dynamo meter for tension readings

15. Sagging section length should not exceed 5KM or 15 spans

16. Physical measurement of ground clearance on roads and

important places.

does not exceed 4 percent.

The sag of any conductor does not depart by

more than 3% from the mean sag of all the
conductors in the same span subject of a
maximum of 150mm.
