High-voltage towers in China (5 photos)

The tallest high voltage towers are in China. The workers are as high as a 90-story building, but they don't care, they are busy with important work.

In the photographs you can see how the installation of towers, the upper parts of which reach a height of almost 300 meters, is taking place for the new ultra-high voltage line. The high-voltage line should connect hydroelectric power stations on the Yangtze River in Anhui province with the main consumer of electricity - the city of Shanghai. The high-voltage line will cover a distance of 268 kilometers. More than 500 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity will flow through the cables per year.

A total of 1,421 towers will be built. Although not all of them will be 300 meters high, the rest are also quite high. The ambitious project should be implemented before the end of 2013.

It is not surprising that working at such a significant height requires an adequate attitude to safety, at least in highly developed countries this is the case. In this case, we see workers wearing safety belts but using makeshift rope ladders to move up and down the pylons.

The workers have already reached the most important part across the Yangtze River.

The Chinese are increasingly appearing on the pages of world publications with their ambitious, scandalous and unusual projects. Not all of them are of industrial importance, although there are many of them. Only recently has the scandal surrounding the construction of a copy of an Austrian village subsided, and a little earlier, English tourists were very surprised to see a copy of the Tower Bridge in China.
