I guess those tactics work on some. Of course I don't require structurals unless the tower is getting close to its max. On Thu, Sep 24, 2015, 12:20 AM Eric Kuhnke wrote: > Or just ask for an original wet stamped as built schematic of the tower, > you would be surprised

We have tower drawings and original structural analysis from tower owners. They just want an analysis done on our additional load. I was hoping to find a vendor to do this under 1k since it should be quick and easy with all the info we can provide. So far, only one vendor has been recommended.

If a tower company starts giving me a huge price for a structural analysis I usually come back with: Please provide me a copy of your last tower inspection. I want to make sure the tower shows no problems that were covered in a routine inspection. If they can’t produce one it’s bargaining

I saw an analysis done by DCI on a public safety tower and frankly was so ridiculous for adding three 3.65 Sectors on at 45 ft mark of 300 tower. I understand when wind loading can be an issue on some towers but this was a tower with 8 ft base and guyed... One 6 ft dish at 80 ft mark with VHF and

Or just ask for an original wet stamped as built schematic of the tower, you would be surprised how many companies have "lost" theirs. On Sep 23, 2015 8:48 PM, "Josh Luthman" wrote: > Very smart!!! > > > Josh Luthman > Office: 937-552-2340 > Direct: 937-552-2343 >
