New pylons

Con earlier in este blog publicamos una entrada on New ideas in energy generation. In este post if exponía un nuevo diseño de torres high voltage que incorporaban turbinas eólicas of eje vertical. In the linear de este topic descubrí un reciente competed promovido for from College of Arquitectos Británicos, RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) con of objection from diseñar nuevas torres electrical high-voltage mayor calidad esthetic que mitiguen of impacted visual y landscape of is infraestructuras in of territorio.
In this sense, como hunting cercano a nosotros hemos Visto the poca integration in from Landscape de las nuevas torres instaladas recientemente in out on Tenerife. Assuming the complexity of the underground power lines such as increases involves technical difficulties, time and implementation costs, seems reasonable to choose alternatives that improve the aesthetic conditions of the existing airlines, transforming them into less aggressive elements or milestones in the landscape even more typical of the Landscape.

    How interesting

  • Fernando Caballero Guimerá

    Very good suggestions “integrated”

  • Tomás Dorta

    interesting proposals…

  • Francisco Alvarez Abrante

    How is it possible that these towers are placed “horrifying” Tenerife?, proposals best, there are thousands, and proposed herein many good examples so difficult Was browse a little what is done in other places and with more inclusive proposals from the standpoint of aesthetic and landscape?………..and now that?

  • I think we should make an association in defense of the island landscape.
    A group that is dedicated to identifying and reporting such aesthetic aberration as we have been placing on the islands.
    If we did an inventory of what they have done wrong visually Private Islands, businesses and, what is more serious, government, would work for a long time.

    Perhaps that inventory DEBRIA alternatives accompanied. Anyway, with respect to the towers… I still think that in our country the burial is the best aesthetically, even knowing the difficulties … economic, techniques…, we can see better designs, but obstacles remain. The southern highway strip takes years to work, and I always wonder how is it possible not to have taken account of the burial of cables? Why when it will undertake “something” not addressed all the needs? Is he forgot the verb plan? It is very likely that everything is much more complex as I imagine..

  • The transportation problem is the high voltage electrical heating lines. We're talking hundreds of degrees. Hence, Outdoor is because that way dissipates excess heat. If soterran, ducts need to be refrigerated and is not a cheap solution. We would very expensive and the truth is not done but very rarely. Engineers do not recommend for the cost. Remember that we do not have many resources Canary.

    And that cablito who goes by the sea?????

    I think I remember that also was seen as an alternative to laying. Well we were talking about other tower design.
