Pylons of Ghesm Crossing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pylons of the Ghesm Crossing are two 130 metre high pylons, carrying a 230kV-powerline over the Strait of Ghesm in Iran. One of these pylons was founded on a caisson in the strait. Both pylons have two crossbars with span widths of 36.20 metres and 13.8 metres for 6 conductors. The line span between the two pylons is 1585 metres. Unlike other 230kV-powerlines, no ground conductors are used.

The pylons of Ghesm Crossing were built in 1984.
