Electrical Tower Assessments
Aging Infrastructure Inspections and Engineering Recommendations
For a California-based electrical utility, our engineering firm provided planning and oversight, trained staff, and developed recommendations that involved evaluating the condition, reliability, and safety of aging electrical transmission towers. Inspectors conducted thorough inspections to identify signs of wear, corrosion, structural weaknesses, or other issues that may compromise the integrity of the towers. These assessments involved visual inspections, non-destructive testing, and structural analysis techniques.
Based on the findings, engineering recommendations were made to address any identified issues and ensure the continued safe and reliable operation of the transmission infrastructure. Recommendations included repairs, maintenance measures, reinforcement, or even replacement of deteriorating components. The work resulted in extending the lifespan of the infrastructure, enhancing its resilience to environmental factors, and minimizing the risk of failures or outages.
