NIGRES power line mast on the Oka
The Nigres power pylon (Pylon the Oka overhead line crossing Dzerzhinsk, Russian Шуховская башня на Оке, Опора ЛЭП НиГРЭС ) is a 128-meter hyperbolic pylon at Oka -Ufer at Dzerzhinsk .
The mast was erected in 1929 as one of two identical high-voltage line towers by the Russian engineer Vladimir Grigoryevich Schuchow . Due to the removal of the lines due to the relocation of the high-voltage line, the masts have been without function since 1989. Four smaller feed masts were demolished. In March 2005, one of the two remaining large masts was demolished.
Although the two large masts had to carry the load of the power line cables, they are even lighter and more finely divided than the Schuchow radio tower in Moscow . The gradual change in the lattice structure from bottom to top follows clearer rules.
