The Kerinchi Pylon is a lattice-steel transmission tower located near Menara Telekom in Kerinchi, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
It was built by Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) in the middle of 1999. At 210 metres (690 ft), the pylon is recorded in the Malaysian Book of Records as the tallest electricity pylon in Malaysia and Southeast Asia.
The Kerinchi Pylon differs from other electricity pylons of comparable height, like those of Elbe Crossing 2, because is it not used for a powerline crossing of a wide waterway and that it is just a single structure.
Famous quotes containing the word pylon:
“I wish I could write well enough to write about aircraft. Faulkner did it very well in Pylon but you cannot do something someone else has done though you might have done it if they hadn’t.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
