  • The New Eiffel Tower! And it's doing a job, too! Not just something to look at. Watching those people working at height is making me a little dizzy.

    IMHO; 500kV is not exceptional, but the 380m tower height is dictated by the width of the span they want to cross, the droop of the catenary and the strength of the power cables. Then, the wind forces on those cables mean the tower must be strong as well as high. Congratulations to the designers and builders of this truly astounding project.

    This announcer’s sing-song narration is too funny.
  • It appears very well braced. Looks like it is a combination of carbon & galvanized steel, stainless, and aluminum in the tower.

    As an american tradesman, I find these transmission towers to be modern marvels. The construction workers, architects, and engineers should be proud of themselves. That tower is a work of art. I even consider it to be a mega structure. 🔧 🏗️

    That is going to carry a lot of power! So much "juice" over the wires! (Did he say 500 Kilowatts? That is not so much as it looks like it can carry much more!) Oh, I understand, it is tall to allow tall ships to travel beneath it!

    If China need something they build it, no obstacle gets in their way, From bridges to railroad to buildings, hard work and dedication, and in Record times 👍👍 to China.

    Forget the Eiffel Tower, these things are as tall as the Empire State Building (minus the TV antenna). They are not the tallest any more however, another pair of recently completed towers crossing the Yangtze have beaten them by 5m!
