SBB’s ERS towers are modular aluminum guyed
structures. By establishing a temporary bypass
of damaged towers, they can help quickly restore
power on a power transmission line from 69kV
to 1200kV. Designed for ease and speed of
installation, the ERS can be installed on all types of
ground in any weather.
“They are designed to work like Lego blocks,”
explains Gharzani, “without the need for heavy
equipment to put them together. The intent is to
restore damaged power transmission lines, for
example in the event a tower is wiped out by a
hurricane, so you can restore power on that line in
the matter of a few hours.”

the world.
