Highmast manufacturing plants

Submerged Arc Seam Welders

Galvanized finish with optional powder coating or liquid paint

Quality control

• Material• Dimensions• Welding– Ultrasonic insepctions & Magnetic Particle• Galvanizing

ISO Certification for every plant

• ISO 9001 quality system• Valmont USA Manufacturing Specifications• Manufacturing & Inspection Norms based on ASTM• AWS certified welders and inspectors

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

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

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

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

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

Steel poles shapes

• Configuration - single pole, H-frame, Y-frame, X-frame, 3-pole structure

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

welded joints

Steel pole foundations options• Foundation types – concrete foundations with

anchor bolts, direct embedded, caisson foundations

Steel poles finishes• Surface protection – galvanizing, weathering

steel, powder coating over galvanizing
