coating breakdown
Hot-dip galvanizing loss estimated 68% across cross-arm north members. Active red rust visible — base steel exposed.
Annual drone inspection of a 420 kV HV suspension tower (commissioned 1978, 60 m height). Cross-arm galvanizing loss at 68% with active red-rust; lower main-leg L-3 section loss at 12%. Conductor-attachment bird-nest noted for line-maintenance crew. Foreign-object findings demonstrate the broad coverage.
Hot-dip galvanizing loss estimated 68% across cross-arm north members. Active red rust visible — base steel exposed.
Section loss estimated 12% on lower main leg L-3 below galvanizing breakdown zone. Within IEC 60652 + Statnett-spesifikasjon monitoring threshold.
Bird nest fragment lodged at conductor attachment. No structural concern; flagged for line-maintenance crew awareness.
