Tower Upgrades

It is essential to have a qualified engineer perform a stress analysis on existing towers to be sure that the structure itself can accommodate any new communication components being installed.  Overloading a tower is never a good idea, though we've seen it done many times.  Even installing temporary equipment can cause unsafe conditions for your tower.

Before you install antennas, mounts, or any communication equipment on your tower, take the time to do a visual inspection and tower analysis to ensure that you won't experience any unnecessary expenses after the fact.

It is quite possible you will need to upgrade tower items such as horizontal girts, diagonal member, or a combination of both, as well as, but not limited to, internal bracing.
