Electricity Line Model Construction: Connecting Qeshm Island to the Mainland

The project of constructing the electricity transmission line model from Qeshm Island to the mainland stands out as one of the most remarkable examples of professional design and model execution in the energy transmission sector. These models were designed and built to showcase the quality and precision of infrastructure projects to stakeholders and employers.

Comparison of Two Models for the Qeshm to Mainland High-Voltage Power Line Project

During this project, two different models were created, each with its specific purpose and application:

Initial Model (December 2023)

The first model was designed and built within a very limited 12-hour timeframe in December 2023. This model aimed to provide a preliminary preview of the overall project concept to the employer. Due to the time constraints, its details were simplified and streamlined, serving solely as an initial schematic representation.

Features of the Initial Model:

  • Simple and schematic design.
  • Constructed within a 12-hour timeframe.
  • Suitable for presenting the preliminary idea to the employer.

Final Model (September 2024)

The second model, crafted with greater precision and ample time, entered the pre-production phase in July and was completed and delivered in September 2024. This model achieved a much higher level of detail, precise design, and professional material usage. Its primary purpose was to demonstrate the project’s execution quality at the Tehran International Electricity Exhibition and the headquarters of Alomtek Company.

Key Features of the Final Model:

  • High Level of Detail: Including precise schematic design of towers, professional coastline construction using epoxy resin, and environmental details like boats and dolphins.
  • Model Dimensions: 70 x 160 cm.
  • Materials Used: MDF, plexiglass, and resin.

Project and Model Significance in the International Exhibition

This project, in addition to showcasing technical capabilities, is recognized as an example of creative use of technology and 3D design in the model-making industry. The presence of these models at the Tehran International Electricity Exhibition and the headquarters of Alomtek Company highlights the high level of accuracy and quality of the execution team’s work.
