How to achieve modern tower construction
The growing demand for energy forces grid operators to implement fast, precise infrastructure expansions. In the high-voltage sector, tower construction becomes a bottleneck: 110 kV lines must be modernized, and new routes with 400 kV to 765 kV must be planned and built.
A 100 km project often includes several hundred individually designed towers – each adapted to topography, route layout, and local conditions. Standard solutions do not apply here; technical precision and deep design are essential.
Complex Projects, Tight Timeframes
Each high-voltage tower is unique – affected by terrain, wind load, corrosion protection, and voltage level. On top of this come strict requirements for safety, tolerances, and assembly. Traditional design methods quickly reach their limits – especially under tight time and budget constraints.
Medium and large energy projects are under pressure: rapid implementation while ensuring strict documentation requirements.
PLAN PRECISELY, SAVE MATERIAL, BUILD FASTER
Tower construction demands the highest accuracy in dimensions, variety of variants, and data consistency. bocad Tower provides a specialized tool tailored exactly to this complexity. The software enables rule-based modeling of individual tower types and project-specific requirements.
Automated detailing, NC data output, and integrated weld seam lists allow production documents to be generated efficiently and with minimal errors.
Thanks to IFC compatibility and BIM integration, bocad Tower integrates seamlessly into digital planning workflows – from the first design to assembly coordination.
The result: Higher detailing accuracy, error-free models and high-quality fabrication deliverables.
INTERNATIONAL REFERENCES
International companies such as SAE (India, Mexico. Brazil), KEC (India), Kalpataru (India), AECOM (Canada) use digital modeling for projects with high variability and short execution deadlines. The range extends from upgrading existing 110 kV lines to implementing new 765 kV routes.
A key practical advantage: software-supported resolution of geometric tolerances during tower erection. Millimeter-accurate planning is not only a matter of structural stability but also contributes to occupational safety and assembly efficiency.
