Abstract
A lightweight electrical utility line transmission tower is disclosed, which is designed to be easily transported by helicopter or truck. The tower uses a single, hollow support column which is positioned in a foundation hole. The column is directly embedded in the ground, and requires no special auxiliary concrete foundation. Two tapered tower arms are secured to the column in a V-shaped configuration by an improved connection and reinforcing apparatus. Attached to the tower arms is an elongate crossarm to which transmission lines are secured.
