Danish Design on Show with Unique Superstructure
As a Scandinavian country, design in Denmark is something of a national obsession and, not surprisingly, transmission towers used here are distinctly unique. But, as lattice steel structures fell out of favor, new designs have been considered in their place. One such concept was a tower type selected for an 80 km line running past farms on the Jutland Peninsula. Created by local architects as part of a design competition, these costly structures emulate the typical Danish transmission pylon’ s style but rely instead on welded components mounted onto concrete poles.
