Electrical & Communications

Almita provides customized turnkey solutions for the power transmission and telecommunications industries.   Transmission and communication structures face unique challenges.  A typical project covers long distances with diverse geotechnical conditions and involves large uplift and lateral loads.  Almita has installed screw piles under a variety of applications in the power and communications industry. Rather than provide a one-size-fits-all solution, Almita assesses and interprets geotechnical conditions and produces an appropriate foundation design for each structure.   This approach results in significant cost savings for our customers.

Common electrical and communications industry
applications include:

  • Substations
    (i.e. transformers, A-frames, high buses and circuit breakers)
  • Transmission towers
    (i.e. lattice structures, H-frames, monopoles and guyed structures)
  • Telecommunication towers 
  • Distribution pole base
