Other twin non-habitable structures

This list consists of nonbuilding structures. In other words, they are not continuously habitable. Masts and towers are considered structures.

RKS Liblice 2 Liblice  Czech Republic 355 m (1,165 ft) Complete  
Sender Donebach Mudau  Germany 363 m (1,191 ft) Complete  

Most strainers of HVDC Volgograd-Donbass are also twin structures. They consist of a single pole-type tower at which one conductor is fixed. Many power line crossings of rivers and straits like Elbe Crossing 2 consist of two similar identical large electricity pylons on both shores and can be therefore also considered as twin structures, although they are not close together.
