Elecnor has made transmission line history with the first ever Danubio tower to be erected in Australia near Lockhart, NSW.
Project EnergyConnect is using Danubio towers because the structural strength of the Danubio tower design is required to carry the weight of the heavy quad 500 kV conductor bundles.
This will enable the 500 kV infrastructure required to build this nation critical project, linking power between South Australia, Victoria and NSW.
The average height of the Danubio tower is 60m with a weight of up to 60t for the Suspension towers and 80t for the Angle towers.
Congratulations to the team involved with more than 100 workers on site erecting the towers and making history!!
