Abstract
The aim of this chapter on Support Foundations is to provide a résumé of the previous Cigré publications, prepared by SCB2 WG07 and WG23, on their design, installation and testing; where appropriate these have been revised to include current design and installation practice. An underlying theme of these publications is that the support foundations, unlike the other Overhead Line (OHL) components, e.g. conductors, insulators and support, are constructed partly or wholly in-situ, in a medium (the ground), which does not have constant properties and is unique at each support site. The installation of a typical OHL support foundation is shown in Figure 13.1.
