Self-supporting tower
A self-supporting tower is an ultimate solution by mounting an antenna support without necessity to build the foundation. The tower is weighted with foundation blocks.
Distinctive features
- In many countries it is considered as a temporary construction due to absence of the foundation. No building permission is required;
- The minimum time required for object construction;
- Simple maintenance;
- High antenna load capability;
- Mobility (the possibility of multiple relocation).
Standard heights: up to 50 m.
Wind region: up to 5.
Application sphere, placement of
- mobile base station antennas;
- radio-relay system antennas;
- television and radio antennas;
- navigation, radar and other systems.
Standard specification
- tower bearing constructions;
- brackets for installation of antennas and other technological equipment;
- constructions of the bearing frame ;
- lifting ladder;
- ladder safety system for elevation of people (back guardrail);
- mounting constructions of feeder ways;
- rest platform during the ascent to a tower;
- work platform;
- lightning protection system (lightning rod with a conductor and mounting hardware);
- protection system against unauthorized access, etc.;
- a set of mounting materials;
- assembly documentation.
Additional equipment
- additional rest and equipment maintenance platforms;
- ladder safety system for elevation (safety profile with carriage);
- the feeder bridge from the tower to a container or process room;
- aircraft warning system;
- electrical boxes.
Design features
- the towers consist of unified prefabricated sections. The altitude of the section may compose either 5 or 10 meters;
- the upper section is a triangular prism, whereas other sections – truncated pyramid of triangular cross-section;
- belts of the section are made of round tubes;
- the grid of the sections is made of square cross-section profiles;
- type of the section joints – bolted flange joints;
- bolted fixing of the grid cross stay to the section belts.
