For the first time in Belarus, a modern solution—polygonal metal towers—has been used on a 330 kV overhead power line.
The line in question is the CHP-4 – Kolyadichi line. It was commissioned back in 1964, utilizing what are known as "ballerinas"—metal support structures held in place by guy wires. While undeniably aesthetic, these structures occupy a significant amount of land—a fact that, in the context of modern-day Minsk, no longer meets the requirements of a growing metropolis.
The advantages of the new supports are impressive:
✅ The high level of prefabrication of the structures has enabled record-breaking installation speeds—setting up each support now takes mere hours instead of days.
✅ Installation on tubular foundations made it possible to significantly reduce the land area required, which is particularly valuable in urban settings.
This is a real step forward in the development of the country’s energy system! We are proud of our specialists and our cutting-edge solutions!💡⚡️
