Ameren UE Tower
Ameren UE Tower is a unique combination of electricity pylon and radio tower near Ameren's headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. It is a 106.5 meters tall (with antennas on the pinnacle, 111 meters tall) steel lattice structure, which was erected in 2009 and carries two high-voltage three-phase systems on three crossbars at half height.[1][2]
In contrast to other transmission towers that support antennas, the height of the Ameren UE Tower is not determined by its function as an electricity pylon, but rather by its use as a radio tower, which requires a much taller design than for a pure use as an electricity pylon. The used structure has the great disadvantage that the installation of larger antennas on the top, which requires a crane or a block and tackle, is obstructed by the crossbars and conductor cables. Also, switching off of the high-voltage three-phase systems is required.
