Design highvoltage pylon Little Bog Crane

The design pylon Sookureke (Little Bog Crane), located near Mustvee, belongs to the same family as Estonia's first design pylon, Bog Fox, erected in 2020 in Läänemaa, and the second design pylon, Bog Crane, installed in August 2022 at the intersection of the Tallinn-Tartu Highway and Tiksoja Road on the outskirts of Tartu.

The three design pylons were created by architects Sille Pihlak and Siim Tuksam from the architectural firm PART.

Estonia's third design pylon is also a part of the Viru-Tsirguliina 330kV overhead line reconstruction project, which supports Estonia’s connection to the Continental European electricity grid.
