Deep Foundations for OHTL Towers as per Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) Standards

Introduction Deep foundations, particularly pile foundations, play a critical role in the structural integrity and long-term performance of Overhead Transmission Line (OHTL) towers. In projects executed under the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC), deep foundations are widely adopted due to challenging geotechnical conditions such as weak surface soils, high groundwater levels, and severe uplift forces acting

Shallow Foundations for Overhead Transmission Line Towers (Pad & Chimney Foundations)

Abstract Shallow foundations are one of the most commonly adopted foundation systems for Overhead Transmission Line (OHTL) towers, particularly in areas where soil bearing capacity is adequate and uplift forces are within manageable limits. Among shallow foundations, Pad & Chimney Foundations are widely used for suspension and light angle towers due to their simplicity, cost-effectiveness,

Design and Construction Considerations for Foundations of Overhead Transmission Line (OHTL) Towers

Abstract Foundations are the most critical structural component governing the safety, stability, and long-term performance of Overhead Transmission Line (OHTL) towers. Acting as the interface between the transmission structure and the supporting soil or rock, foundations ensure that all vertical, horizontal, uplift, and dynamic loads are safely transferred to the ground.This article provides a comprehensive
