Safe Method to Erect Towers with Electro-Rheological Fluids
##plugins.themes.academic_pro.article.main##
Abstract
Power sector is one of the fastest growing sectors expanding to remote and inaccessible sections of the Indian Subcontinent. High customer expectations of uninterrupted power supply exist even during occurrence of natural calamities via the distribution and transmission networks. It is a challenge to erect any tower in a short period. Erection of towers involves safety issues of the workmen falling down. Hence there is a need to look at non acrophobic devices such as telescopic towers which can be operated from close to the ground level. Our paper here describes one method to address such a challenge whereby a tower could be constructed quickly without the need of support scaffolding arrangements and without the need for workmen to suffer batophobia.
