Following a road construction that created a clearance violation, TAWARA was tasked with engineering a solution for the 5L081 500kV circuit. After evaluating several options, our team designed a 5.5-meter lattice body extension to raise two existing Type 7A tangent towers. Using PLS-CADD and PLS-TOWER, we ensured the new conductor profile met all clearance standards under various weather loads without compromising the structural capacity of the towers or adjacent structures.
