IEEE Standards documents are developed within the Technical Committees of the IEEE Societies
and the Standards Coordinating Committees of the IEEE Standards Board. Members of the committees serve voluntarily and without compensation. They are not necessarily members of the Institute. The standards developed within IEEE represent a consensus of the broad expertise on the
subject within the Institute as well as those activities outside of IEEE that have expressed an interest in participating in the development of the standard.
Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. The existence of an IEEE Standard does not imply
that there are no other ways to produce, test, measure, purchase, market, or provide other goods and
services related to the scope of the IEEE Standard. Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed at the
time a standard is approved and issued is subject to change brought about through developments in
the state of the art and comments received from users of the standard. Every IEEE Standard is subjected to review at least every five years for revision or reaffirmation. When a document is more
than five years old and has not been reaffirmed, it is reasonable to conclude that its contents,
although still of some value, do not wholly reflect the present state of the art. Users are cautioned to
check to determine that they have the latest edition of any IEEE Standard.
Comments for revision of IEEE Standards are welcome from any interested party, regardless of
membership affiliation with IEEE. Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of a
proposed change of text, together with appropriate supporting comments.
Interpretations: Occasionally questions may arise regarding the meaning of portions of standards as
they relate to specific applications. When the need for interpretations is brought to the attention of
IEEE, the Institute will initiate action to prepare appropriate responses. Since IEEE Standards represent a consensus of all concerned interests, it is important to ensure that any interpretation has
also received the concurrence of a balance of interests. For this reason IEEE and the members of its
technical committees are not able to provide an instant response to interpretation requests except in
those cases where the matter has previously received formal consideration.
Comments on standards and requests for interpretations should be addressed to:

Introduction
(This introduction is not part of IEEE Std 1070-1995, IEEE Guide for the Design and Testing of Transmission Modular
Restoration Structure Components.)
In the past few years, most of the utilities in North America have joined together through mutual aid
programs to help one another in case of emergencies. As part of the mutual aid for transmission, a modular
restoration structure has been developed and is now being used by several utilities. The versatility of this
structure and its contribution to our industry has prompted the preparation of the IEEE Guide for the Design
and Testing of Transmission Modular Restoration Components.
This guide is generic in its design so that any utility desiring to use the modular concept as part of a mutual
aid plan can do so. Structures built to this design would then be compatible with the structures of another
company using the same concept. This feature affords many positive results in that savings are realized in
crew training and readiness for emergencies, and in the total investment (fewer structures, that is, loan of
structures from mutual aid participants) of emergency structures. Of course, this modular concept is not
limited to any particular application.
Numerous requests for a generic design of a modular structure have been received from throughout the
industry. The Subcommittee on Engineering in the Safety, Maintenance and Operation of Lines (ESMOL),
part of the Transmission and Distribution (T & D) Committee of IEEE, accepted this project. A Task Group
from the ESMOL subcommittee was formed to complete this task.
This guide represents a significant contribution to our industry that emphasized the spirit of cooperation
between diverse groups in the preparation of such a document, and is based on sound engineering principles
and accepted operational practices. It is our intention to keep this guide current and to update it as future
needs dictate.

1.2 Purpose
The purpose of this guide is to provide the industry with a generic specification that can be used by electric
utilities for acquiring transmission modular restoration structure components. This particular design would
then be compatible with the modular restoration structures presently in use within the industry and would
allow the highly successful plan of transmission mutual aid to be greatly enhanced.
The testing prescribed in this guide provides a high level of confidence between manufacturers and/or
suppliers and is intended to promote competitive acquisition practices within the industry.

3.3 Fabrication
Fabrication should not begin until drawings have been approved by the purchaser. The best modern practices
should be used in the manufacture and fabrication of the types of materials covered by this guide.
3.3.1 Bending
All bending should maintain sufficient thickness of material in order to provide full strength without
impairing the material.
3.3.2 Cutting
Cutting of plates and structural shapes should be guided by electrical or mechanical means to assure a neat,
accurate cut. Cuts should be clean and free of sharp edges.
3.3.3 Drilling and milling
All load-bearing holes should be drilled and all slots should be milled in all material thicknesses. Punching
of holes or slots is not recommended.
3.3.4 Welding procedures
Welding procedures should be in accordance with Aluminum Association, Technical Specification No. 25.
All welds should completely seal. There should be no voids or seams between joining surfaces into which fluids may enter. Welders and welding operators should be qualified in accordance with ANSI/AWS D1.2-1990.

4. Test requirements
4.1 Strength test verification
The first production units of 6.4 m (21 ft) column sections, guy plates, and box sections should be tested by
the manufacturer as specified in 4.1.1 through 4.2.3 and as illustrated in figures 6 through 16. A detailed test
report should be submitted. Elastic and permanent deformation of each component should be measured to
0.025 mm (0.001 in), at load intervals of 50%, 75%, 90%, and 100% of the maximum test load and recorded
in the test report. All test loads should be held for 5 min before measurements are taken.
If the manufacturer has previously tested the same design and manufactured the same assemblies listed
below, the results of those tests may be submitted in lieu of performing new tests.
4.1.1 Compression of the columns
A 6.4 m (21 ft) column should be tested to 290 kN (65 000 lb), with compression applied at the center axis
(see figure 6). Maximum permanent deformation should be less than 0.508 mm (0.020 in).

Std 1070-1995

IEEE
Std 1070-1995
Guy plate No. 3 should be pull tested to 133.5 kN (30 000 lb) using a 19.05 mm (3/4 in) diameter
bolt from the center slots as shown in figure 11, as a qualification test for plates 1, 2, and 3. No
failure or excessive permanent deformation of the plate should occur.
b)
Guy plate No. 4 should be pull tested to 133.5 kN (30 000 lb) perpendicular to the mounting base as
shown in figure 12. No failure or excessive permanent deformation of the plate should occur.
c)
Guy plate No. 5 should be pull tested to 267 kN (60 000 lb) perpendicular to the mounting base as
shown in figure 13. No failure or excessive permanent deformation of the plate should occur.
NOTE25.4 mm (1 in) diameter bolts are to be used to anchor plates No. 4 and No. 5.

6. Other requirements
6.1 Identification
Every column section, base fixture, box section, and gimbal section should be marked with the
manufacturers name, part number, tower type, serial number, and date of manufacture. Guy plates should be
marked with part numbers. In addition, each column section should be marked with the applied proof test
load. These markings should be permanently embossed on a nameplate in a protected location.
6.2 Modification
Within the duration of the contract period, the manufacturer should not make design modifications without
obtaining customer approval. The approved modified design should then be tested in accordance with the
specifications as set forth in clause 4. Any design modification should not inhibit the basic
interchangeability and integrity of the equipment. All design modifications should meet or exceed the
technical and fabrication requirements set forth in 3.2 and 3.3. Complete test data and test certifications
should be kept on file by the manufacturer for any modified structure and a copy of the certified test report
must be forwarded to the customer.
