Transmission line towers are tall structures used to transmit power either through AC or DC systems. They carry overhead high voltage power line ranges 66KV, 111KV/132KV, 230KV/220KV, 400KV, 745KV/AC. They are very important as they maintain proper space between inter-conductor spacing’s within requisite limits under any conditions. As the transmission voltage levels increases the height as well as weight increases. As the height of the tower increases thereby resulting in higher loads which require bigger and heavier foundation. In many situations the cost of foundation increases because of designs and challenges like the remoteness, soil condition and improper marking of route. In such conditions proper determination of design parameters of soil and type of foundation chosen on it is very important. In this paper the comparison of transmission line tower foundations and types of tower foundations will be discussed
