Foundations are critical components of all transmission systems and therefore are crucial to the national power grid. Deterioration identified in these foundations during regular inspections and assessment should be categorized into specific levels of structural severity. Each should be addressed accordingly by a varied regimen of mitigation and repair options. Coatings and anode installation are most commonly used to help prevent deterioration. Repair options include but are not limited to: bolted steel repairs, welded steel repairs, reinforced concrete encasement of concrete foundations and direct member replacement. This paper will address assessment and repairs specific to steel tower and steel pole foundations inclusive of structural durability, corrosion issues and standard repair methods. Steel Transmission Structures Regardless of their construction, steel transmission structures are composed of two basic components: the foundation which provides basic structural support for the entire structure and the structure itself, which creates clearance and provides support to the overhead electric conductors, ground wires and their associated hardware. Most steel transmission structures can be separated in to five distinct groups: Self Supporting Steel Lattice Towers – which are typically constructed by mechanically joining multiple steel members together to form a supporting lattice space truss. Guyed Steel Lattice Towers – similar to the self supporti
