Is there a use for 10" and 12" angles in Transmission Tower Design?

Is there a use for 10" and 12" angles in Transmission Tower Design?

Is there a use for 10" and 12" angles in Transmission Tower Design?

(OP)
I work for a company that wants to start marketing 10" and 12" equal leg angles for Steel Lattice Towers in the transmission industry. This will be a new foray to me. I saw a previous post about some tower builders including Falcon Steel and Comemsa but can anybody suggest who I should be talking to in order to promote these products? I should probably look at both the builders and the designers. Your help is very appreciated.

p.s. I am also a structural engineer and typically more involved in the technical marketing than the actual sales. Thanks!

RE: Is there a use for 10" and 12" angles in Transmission Tower Design?

We use these built up angles for our heavy 345 kV towers.  Our supplier is Thomas & Betts for lattice and pole structures.  They sub out the angles to Fabrimet in Canada.  We typically don't build many of these towers per year.
