    Termination tower (overhead line to underground cable) Future termination tower of a 110 kV-line while joins are installed. A special kind of a dead-end tower is a termination pylon, also called a terminal tower. It is used when the overhead power line terminates, and is connected to substation equipment, or transitions to underground cable.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citicorp_Center...

    The concern was for the integrity of the building structure in high wind conditions. Estimates at the time suggested that if the mass damper was disabled by a power failure, the building could be toppled by a 70-mile-per-hour (110 km/h) quartering wind, with possibly many people killed as a result.

  4. Underground power line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_power_line

    Compared to overhead power lines, underground lines have lower risk of starting a wildfire and reduce the risk of the electrical supply being interrupted by outages during high winds, thunderstorms or heavy snow or ice storms. An added benefit of undergrounding is the aesthetic quality of the landscape without the powerlines.

    Also catabatic wind, drainage wind, or fall wind. A local wind that carries cold, high-density air from a higher elevation downslope under the force of gravity as a result of the radiative cooling of the upland ground surface at night, usually at speeds on the order of 10 kn (19 km/h) or less but occasionally at much higher speeds.

  7. Tie (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tie_(engineering)

    Hurricane ties are in place at the top of the wall as the roof trusses are being placed. A hurricane tie (also known as hurricane clip or strip) is used to help make a structure (specifically wooden structures) more resistant to high winds (such as in hurricanes), resisting uplift, racking, overturning, and sliding.
