Design competition for the designed power pylon

30.05.2016

Elering has in cooperation with the EAA launched a design competition to find a conceptual design for the erection of one angle tower as a so called designed power pylon on the Harku-Lihula-Sindi 330/110 kilovolt high tension power line.

If the design competition for the designed power pylon is a success, Elering will include the erection of the designed power pylon in the Harku-Lihula-Sindi electric power line construction procurement that is to be launched in the latter half of this year. The area of the intersection of the Ääsmäe-Haapsalu and Risti-Virtsu highways in the vicinity of the hamlet of Risti is planned as the location of the designed power pylon.

The Estonian Association of Architects has worked out the competition task and the regulations of the design competition. Three specialists in architecture and two in the field of design will participate in the competition’s five-member jury as proposed by the EAA. The members of the jury are the architects Urmas Muru and Toomas Tammis, the designer Maria Pukk, and two representatives of Elering, Kalle Kilk and Ain Köster.

Among other things, the jury will assess how the designed power pylon relates to the surrounding environment, the attractiveness and functionality of the architectural design, as well as the feasibility and durability of the structural design.

The deadline for submitting competition entries identified by headwords for the designed power pylon design competition is 30 May 2016. The design competition will be held as a straightforward procurement and further information on its conditions is available in the public procurements registry at https://riigihanked.riik.ee/register/hange/172629

The competition documents are partially translated into English, but the competition language is Estonian.
