World's tallest transmission tower capped in east China's Jiangsu

世界上最高的输电铁塔位于中国东部的江苏省

The world's tallest power transmission tower, with a height of 385 meters, was capped on Wednesday in east China's Jiangsu Province, which is the crucial part of the 500-kv power transmission project spanning the Yangtze River, the country's longest waterway. As the most technically difficult 500-kv cross-river network transmission project in the history of China's power construction, the project spans from Fengcheng County to Meili County of the province, connecting two 500-kv transformer substations in the two regions. Over 178 kilometers of 500-kv lines will be built or renovated, among which the section spanning the Yangtze River measures up to 2,550 meters.

周三，世界上最高的输电塔，高385米，在中国东部的江苏省封顶，这是横跨中国最长水道长江的500千伏输电工程的关键部分。

作为中国电力建设史上技术难度最大的500千伏跨江输电工程，该工程将修建或改造178多公里的500千伏线路，其中跨越长江的线路长达2550米。

Those guys climbing that tower have BALLS OF STEEL. I would totally faint if I ever reach that high like that.

这么高的电视塔，爬上去的人是真有勇气。我要是爬那么高，会吓晕过去的

The tallest building in my country is 182 metres tall so this transmission tower is almost double that height. Currently trying to imagine how tall that would be if I was standing right before it.

我们国家的最高的建筑才182米高，而这座输电塔几乎是我们最高建筑的两倍高。想象一下，站在这座电视塔前面，会被震撼到的。

Wow, that is tall@385m. That is taller than most city observation towers.

哇塞，这个电视塔高385米啊，比大多数城市的观景塔都要高。

With such a high transmission tower, is it able to withstand strong winds and thunderstorms? Just curious to know

我想知道，这么高的输电塔，能承受住强风和雷雨吗？

Do you think they just built those towers without doing any studies?

你以为他们没有经过研究就匆忙建造电视塔吗？

It's china

这可是中国

Yes, CHINA is top of the world by all means

是的，中国绝对是世界第一

Not sure building such giant infrastructure makes much sense in view of the looming war. Such colossal structures are easy targets and their destruction causes bigger problems compared with small-scale distributed redundant infrastructure

不确定建设如此庞大的基础设施是否有意义，要是爆发战争呢。这种庞大的结构很容易成为攻击目标，与小型分布式冗余基础设施相比，这样的设施被破坏会造成更严重的问题

Nicolau Poceiro

Sure, I find it cool that China builds good infrastructure everywhere in their country, and beyond.

我觉得很酷，中国在国内外到处修建基础设施
