Lattice Tower Modeling & Analysis

Deep expertise in lattice tower structural modeling and analysis using PLS-TOWER, with more than 2,500 high-voltage steel and aluminum lattice towers evaluated — spanning 69 kV to 500 kV systems and structures aged 30 to over 110 years.

Services include:
- PLS-TOWER modeling of tangent, angle, and dead-end lattice structures
- Conductor upgrade feasibility — including bundled HTLS configurations
- Rigging and construction load analysis for insulator replacement and conductor transfers
- Fall protection evaluation per OSHA and utility-specific requirements
- Combined axial and flexural capacity checks for maintenance personnel loading
- OPGW/fiber stringing load evaluation on existing lattice towers
- Asset condition assessment and reuse recommendations
- Method 4 structural analysis for major utilities
- Antenna equipment loading evaluation for cell site installations

Analysis results are delivered as formal engineering reports with clear recommendations, supporting safe field execution and informed capital planning decisions.
