Emergency Transmission Towers

Weather or willful attacks can play havoc with transmission lines. Any transmission tower collapse or damage requires removing that line from service. Consequences range from a mere nuisance, to limiting power transfer, inability to serve load, reducing reliability, or worse. Often, scenarios involve multiple towers at the same time.

Lindsey Emergency Restoration System (ERS) structures are pre-kitted, modular guyed transmission towers. ERS structures can be rapidly deployed to the most remote locations and be quickly assembled by any available erection method. Proven over 30 years, there is no faster way to get conductors back in the air, moving power. Lindsey ERS structures provide the time to methodically repair or replace damaged towers.

Sharing Lindsey ERS Structures for Enhanced Recovery

All parts within a Lindsey ERS system are completely interchangeable. In the USA, hundreds of Lindsey 1070-series ERS structures are in place at utilities across the country. Any tower fall down exceeding a utility’s ERS structure inventory can be augmented by asset sharing from neighboring utilities. Lindsey’s GRIDSURANCE® asset sharing program, established in 2006, can direct utilities to locate nearby ERS structure assets.
