I will be upgrading my tower and will be using my existing base. This will require drilling the existing concrete base and epoxing in some new bolts. I would be interested in exchanging some emails w

I can't imagine that being a good idea. The base that was original extends into the concrete via a welded cage or the attachment to other tower (which does the same thing) and is then bolted to the t

Keep the information on the list; I want to know more about this as well. A local here upgraded from a 50' to a 70' tower, and did this very thing. He used some kind of an epoxy to glue in the bolts.

Look at the Simpson Strong Tie web site for lots of data. The permitted tension for epoxy anchors depends on a number of factors shown in the charts. http://www.simpsonanchors.com/catalog/adhesives/e

isn't this one of those things where you want to be using some numbers? I can't imagine that you want anecdotal info here on sizing. Like how much tension do you have withstand? Depends on your tower

If it is guyed tower then epoxying in anchor bolts should be a good solution provided they are sized properly. If it is a self supporting tower it is a different ball game and it would be wise to hav

If its a guyed tower, you don't need any bolts. Take a look at the Rohn 25, 45 and 55 pier pins. A simple single pin in the center of the base plate is all that is required. Take a look at the Rohn i

In addition to blowing out the dust, a good steel or brass brush should be used to clean the compacted dust from the barrel of the hole after drilling. Blow out the hole, brush vigorously, blow out,

About 15 years ago, I purchased a larger crank-up mast with a new base plate. Of course, the original holding down bolts were not in the right place for the new base. The old ones were cut off flush.
