French term or phrase: pylônes double terne type Beaubourg

Yet more pylon types... I'd no idea there were so many.

Context as before:

Le support n°1 a été déplacé et devrait être à priori rehaussé de 2,5 m environ mais les études techniques détaillées en cours semblent conduire à la possibilité de l’abaisser à 44,5 m, soit un gain de 4 mètres in fine, par rapport au projet initial.
Les supports 2 et 3 sont inchangés (48,5 m de haut), avec une largeur de nappe de 22 m.
Une solution alternative consisterait à utiliser des **pylônes double terne type Beaubourg** qui permettraient d’abaisser la ligne à 38 m de haut mais cela augmenterait la largeur de nappe à 32 m ainsi que l’emprise au sol.

Mille fois merci!

Apologies, by the way, if I take ages to respond to any requests for more information - my e-mail server is on a go-slow, having been dead since Friday, so I have to keep checking on the website direct. Just what you need....
