For more than 50 years, Valmont Newmark has been providing quality engineered substation
structures to utility customers around the world. As a market leader in tapered-tubular substations, Val-
mont Newmark specializes in providing the entire package of tapered — tubular structures — from dead-
ends to equipment stands to bus supports.
Lighter and yet stiffer structures. A tube has a higher degree of stiffness per pound
about either major axis than a typical wide flange section, thus eliminates the need of
weak-axis bracing. Torsional rigidity is also greater. A tapered tubular leg offers the
most efficient use of steel by utilizing a smaller cross section where the load is reduced.
For similar loadings, a tapered tubular dead-end can be 50% lighter than other types
of construction.
Less installation time and lower total installed cost. With fewer components and
simplified connection details, Valmont Newmark’s tubular substation structures
significantly decrease erection time and cost. Using a long-lived protective coating, such
as hot-dip galvanizing, tubular structures are easy to maintain.
Increased dead-end tension capabilities. Our high strength steel line termination
structures allow higher tensions in conductors, while still using less steel than other con-
struction methods. The use of higher tensions may eliminate the need for a
transmission dead-end pole outside the substation and provide additional savings.
Safe and easy maintenance access. The clean, open style of Valmont Newmark’s
engineered substation structures promotes safe working procedures while providing
easy access for regular maintenance.
Overall, we offer lower installed costs, better structural performance and aesthetically pleasing installations.
L i n e T e r m i n a t i o n S t r u c t u r e s
As a world leader in the design and fabrication of welded tapered-tubular structures, Valmont
Newmark provides line termination structures to meet your exact requirements. Valmont Newmark
offers a wide range of structure design options including A-frames, H-frames and single pole
termination structures tailored to accommodate most specifications. We provide structures at system
voltages from 765kV through 15kV and have the tools available to assist you in defining your special
requirements.

Valmont Newmark’s bus supports are configured to perform various tasks. Single phase, multi-phase,
high, low and bi-level are just a few. Valmont Newmark offers a range of options…single-leg,
multi-leg and vertical multi-phase ...each an example of the flexibility of tapered tubular construction.
In addition, clean lines, small footprints and minimal foundation requirements result in reduced
total installed costs while our simple connections save construction time. With Valmont Newmark,
phrases “off the truck” and “direct to the foundation” are a reality. Our engineers can design various
types of members to meet your project requirements.

S w i t c h S t a n d s
Valmont Newmark engineers understand the special requirements of switch supports. Most often, the
structure designs are controlled by the deflection constraints required to ensure proper operation of
the switch and their operating mechanisms. Regardless of the type of switch installed, “V”, vertical
break, side break, load break, fuse or by-pass, Valmont Newmark provides structures to support them.
Valmont Newmark’s tapered-tubular construction and up-to-date analysis methods provide superior
performance and reliability.

Special stands are a category of equipment supports that provide unique solutions as part of Valmont
Newmark’s substation package. Structures for surge arrester, metering equipment and wavetraps are
examples of special applications requiring freedom of arrangement made possible using Valmont
Newmark’s tapered-tubular structures.

4.1 As a minimum, the following conditions shall be used for structure design.
• 4.1.1 ICE + WIND The structure is to be loaded with all equipment, structure dead weight and a coating of
radial ice on both equipment and structure. The degree of loading due to ice shall be considered as
light, medium, or heavy in accordance with the geographical areas shown in the loading map in ANSI
C2, Part 2, Section 250. A wind pressure will be applied to the ice-coated equipment and to the
structure. The wind speed will be 80 miles per hour.
• 4.1.2 EXTREME WIND The structure is to be loaded with all equipment and structure dead weight without ice.
A wind pressure shall be applied to the equipment and structure. The extreme wind speed will be 100
miles per hour.
Specifications
• 4.1.3 SEISMIC Where applicable, the structure is to be loaded with all equipment and structure dead weight
without ice or wind. Seismic loading shall be applied to the equipment and structure as recommended
by UBC.
• 4.1.4 SHORT CIRCUIT A horizontal force, equal to 100% of the rated cantilever strength of the insulator, shall
be applied perpendicular to the rigid bus at the top of the insulator. No horizontal or vertical forces
from wind, ice or seismic shall be considered on bus or equipment. Short circuit reactions plus extreme
wind shall be applied to the structure.
4.2 WIND PRESSURE
• 4.2.1 Calculate wind pressure as follows: P = 0.00256 x V2 x Cd
where: P = Wind pressure in pounds per square foot
V = Wind velocity in miles per hour
Cd = Drag coefficient:
1.0 for 12 or more sided surfaces
1.3 for 8 or 6 sided surfaces
1.6 for flat surfaces
• 4.2.2 Apply the wind in the most severe direction. Investigate a diagonal wind load for the design of anchor
bolts. Wind shade factors are not allowed. Increase the wind profile of equipment by the radial ice
thickness before calculating the wind load.
4.3 ICE LOAD
• 4.3.1 To account for the increase in equipment and structure weight due to ice, multiply the dead weight of
the equipment and structure by these factors:
