From preparing the foundation and assembling it on the ground, to erecting the pre-assembled elements dozens of meters high - all these rigorous technical steps, and many others, involve the coordinated effort of dozens of specialists and several days of work.
Preparing the foundations is the most complex stage of construction: it involves deep excavation, heavy-duty reinforcement and large volumes of concrete, all adapted to the specific terrain and conditions of each site.
Next comes the erection of the metal segments, involving around 20 workers for each pillar, who work together, joining the pillar components piece by piece.
On the other hand, the erection of the pylon is practically the most visible and spectacular stage, but also very demanding at the same time, as it involves working at height, millimetre-precise manoeuvres with specialized equipment and a team of technicians trained to operate in difficult conditions, tens of meters above the ground.
The Vulcanesti-Chisinau energy independence line has 3 types of pylons, adapted to the relief and technical needs. They vary in size, the smallest being 27 meters and about 9 tons, equivalent to a 9-storey block of flats, while the tallest reaches over 48 meters and more than 40 tons - the equivalent of a 16-storey building!
In total, the Vulcaneste-Chisinau Energy Independence Line will comprise 503 metal pylons with a combined weight of more than 10,000 tons - equivalent to the Eiffel Tower.
