Transmission Tower and Pole Painting can be a challenge for the owner, their inspection staff and the contractor. Transmission Structure painting also requires a specialized skill set which leads to worker safety, protection of owner’s equipment, surface preparation options, material selection, quality control / quality assurance documentation and the cost effectiveness of the project. This lecture will discuss typical means and methods of surface preparation, coating application, recommended worker training, tower terminology and examples used in this industry. Transmission towers and poles, whether they are painted or galvanized carbon steel structures, will ultimately oxidize and corrode over time. Paint and galvanizing serve the same function; the protection of the carbon steel substrate by providing an exposure barrier to corrosion attack. Without properly planned and executed maintenance plans, utility owners may need to invest in untimely and costly structure replacement. This type of scenario is not exclusive to transmission towers in fact the much of the infrastructure in the United States are seeing the same issues.
