Estonia

The 186th tallest tower in the world

m

Designer high-voltage pylon Bog Fox (Estonian: Soorebane) is Estonia’s first high-voltage designer pylon, established as the corner pylon of the Harku–Lihula–Sindi high-voltage line in summer 2020. The pylon is located in Risti, Lääne County, Estonia. Estonia's first designer high-voltage pylon was created by Part OÜ architects Sille Pihlak and Siim Tuksam. Bog Fox is 45 metres high at its highest point, weighs 38 tonnes and should last for at least 50 years. The designer pylon is made of COR-TEN steel, which gives the pylon its characteristic rusty hue. The pylon's trunk is 1.66 metres at its thickest point and the wall's maximum thickness is 22 mm. Bog Fox was made in a factory in Romania and brought to Estonia on three lorries in 11 parts.
