Spanish term or phrase: torres de deflexión y remate
Terms appear in a description of overhead transmission lines for a project in Mexico. Text is in Mexican Spanish:

"Las torres que se utilizarán en el proyecto serán metálicas de celosía del tipo 1G11 para torres de suspensión y 1W11 para torres de deflexión y remate."

Problem is with "torres de deflexión y remate". Have looked everywhere in Google and no luck.

Any help gratefully received.

Although it’s hard to quantify structure types since there are always exceptions to the rules and never-ending configurations, transmission structures can be considered **dead-end, strain** or suspension.

Dead-end tower - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead-end_tower
A dead-end tower is a fully self-supporting structure used in construction of overhead power lines. A dead-end transmission tower uses horizontal strain insulators at the end of conductors. Dead-end towers may be used at a substation as a transition to a "slack span" entering the equipment, when the circuit changes to a ...

Torres de transmisión tipo deflexión. Este tipo de torre se coloca en donde hay puntos de inflexion de la linea de transmision a lo largos de su trayectoria.

Torres de transmisión tipo remate .Este tipo de torre se coloca al inicio de la linea de transmisión que sale de una subestación de la planta de generación de energía eléctrica o de una subestación elevadora de voltaje y se coloca también al final de la linea de transmisión y también se aplican en tangentes largas mayores a 5 km.
