Hi Patrick, I think you have some major engineering job in front of you. You can probably use your truck to erect it if you add a "falling derrick", something used in many cases raising a tower. I us
I noted earlier that you referred to the legs as pipe and the joins as multi pinned pipe couplings. Is this constructed of pipe, or structural steel tubing? There is likely quite a bit od difference
Holy cow - a 40-foot tower with 14-foot-wide base. Before you go through all this pain I would look at AN Wireless or Trylon to see if it mightn't even be cost effective to go new. They aren't that e
My apology for using the term "pipe" loosely. Of course it is structural tubing with circular flanges welded to each end of each of the 12 ends. Multiple through bolts attach the 20 ft sections toget
Patrick Having erected some large towers in my work on microwave radio sites, I can tell you the correct (NOT cheap) way to design your foundation: First have a soils engineer perform a soils investi
The problem of "towers" walking them selves up from the ground is something the utility companies have a lot of experience. It seems that wind direction changes exert forces on one side and then anot
