COMPANY PROFILE

Company founded in 1974 Emergency Restoration

System (ERS) since 1989 First mast section design was

lattice R&D with client’s collaboration

to improve design New improved modular design

came in 1998. Same mast section (412 x 412) used for 69kV up to 1200kV+

Today we are the leading supplier of ERS worldwide.

ERS APPLICATION

BENEFITS AND APPLICATION OF ERS:

Interruption of power can cause high fines and costs to a transmission company. Therefore SBB ERS towers can be used to quickly, safely and efficiently:

• Restore power interrupted by natural disasters, sabotage or vandalism.

• Perform maintenance on a power line and minimizing the outage time.

• Perform new construction of power lines, cross roads, or new substations.

• Perform renovations on old lines.• Perform hotline maintenance.

The list is endless…


CONSTRUCTION OF NEW IKEANORWAY – LYSE ENERGY

Line deviation for new building construction using SBB ERS Tower can significantly reduce the construction time.

Companies can focus on building without the stress of power outage for long periods.


SNOW STORMSLOVENIA – ELEKTRO LJUBLJANA

Quick reaction to a storm or a flood is very important.

After a field and software training, our clients are capable to face virtually any situation that come their way.


FLOODBRAZIL – CEEE

Several Teams can work simultaneously and safely on several lines in parallel.

Our clients can quickly restore power during an emergency and then focus on the cleanup.


CONSTRUCTION OF NEW SUBSTATIONNORTHERN IRELAND – NIE

A contractor bidding on a maintenance project can save both money and time.

Projects will take less time to accomplish using the SBB ERS towers, since the scheduling will be optimized.


LINE DEVIATION FOR HIGHWAY CROSSINGMALAYSIA – TTSB

Highway crossing does not allow for long periods of shutdown and the available space to work is very limited.

SBB ERS towers have a small foot print and require no heavy equipment to put up. It’s quick assembly allows for smaller windows of power shutdown.


CONSTRUCTION OF NEW HIGHWAYABU-DHABI – KEC

Building a new highway can demand the deviation of an existing line.

The SBB ERS Towers, are an effective way to do so and can keep power circulating until the final arrangement of the new line is done.


HOTLINE (LIVE LINE) MAINTENANCEPARAGUAY – ANDE

When power outage is not an option, SBB ERS towers are the only option.

Hotline, or live line, maintenance can be performed using “hot sticks” to transfer the conductors from the old tower to the SBB ERS Tower.


MUD SLIDE & TOWER COLAPSENORTHERN IRELAND – NIE

Support is key in any emergency. Our team of engineers offers it when the client needs it the most.

SBB Offers free technical support for all your emergency needs.

ERS TOWER COMPONENTS

ALL SBB ERS TOWER COMPONENTS AND TOOLS ARE DESIGNED WITH EFFICIENCY

AND SAFETY ON OUR MIND.

SBB TOWERS DO NOT REQUIRE CONCRETE BASES. IT IS AS EASY AS PLACING A PLATE

ON THE GROUND AND START BUILDING.


BPL-0016: Aluminum Base Plate

Aluminum base plate requires no foundation.

Larger foundations are available for soft soils that do not have the required bearing capacity.


ABS-0830: Articulated Base

The Articulated Base has 360° rotation on the horizontal plan and 180° on the vertical plan.

Allows the tower to be installed on uneven ground.


MSC-4129: 3m (10’) Mast SectionMSC-4126: 2m (6’) Mast Section

Mast sections are piled one on top of the other like Lego® blocks.

Each hole on the mast section is positioned at 31cm apart. Each one acts as an attachment point for the different brackets.

Each corner acts as a railing system that will allow some of the equipment to slide on the tower without interruption.

2.904m – 135kg

1.977m – 96kg


GPL-0270: Swivel Guy Plate

The swivel guy plate consists of 4 components and can be installed at any hole.

It takes seconds to install on the tower.

The guy plate is used to fix the guy wires (stays) or to connect the suspension/strain insulators to the tower.


LPB-S56U: Post Insulator Bracket

Post insulators are attached at any level using the functionality of the holes. Brackets are designed to fix them to the tower.


ANCHOR TYPES

Anchor plate Rock anchor Manta-Ray Anchor Helix Anchor


ASSEMBLY METHODS

FROM THE HAMMER TO THE SLIDING GIN POLE, THE REQUIRED TOOLS ARE

SUPPLIED TO FULLY ASSEMBLE THE TOWER WITHOUT THE NEED TO RUN AROUND FOR A MISSING WRENCH.

ASSEMBLY METHODS – HELICOPTER


OTHER TOOLS FOR ASSEMBLY


LOGISTICS

Our Towers are shipped in maritime containers that act as a way of mobilizing as well as storing the material.

Three options exist:

• Container storage system• Railing for lifting heavy

items• Wood crates


TRAINING

SBB specialists offer their help and expertise in order to offer the best results in using the SBB ERS Towers.

The typical training program consists of:

• 5 days field training• 3 days software training

• Main program in which all the impact of the outside conditions is analyzed. Such conditions are:

• Weather conditions and wind loads;

• Type of conductor & OHGW;• Conductor & OHGW tension;• Number of conductors per

phase;• Line angle;• Span length;• Etc…

• A module to define the ERS structure’s:

• Tower components capacities• Number of guy (stay) wires• Insulators mechanical

capacities• Geometrical characteristics of

the elements• Etc…
