## Engineering response to erosion

The tower was threatened by erosion caused by the Tesechoacán River changing course. CFE moved the structure about 190 m inland and built a special foundation with piles 23 m deep.

The line is one of the routes carrying electricity from the Grijalva hydropower complex and Isthmus of Tehuantepec wind farms toward central Mexico.
