Will be interesting to get a little more information
abouth the failure in the tower that cause to break at
the middle, sound like small tower or rusted by
inside some section.
i just work in a small 3 sections rohn 25 very old
sunk in concrete roof (very smart move) and all the
top sections are very soft that you can push a screw
driver with no effort thru, looks just a small spots
of rust , but the sound was very diferent " like soft
wood"
the tower was located in the top a silo at 120 ft
high.
removing the bolts i found full of rust metal and
oxidation debris inside. scary to climb.
to prevent this kind of accidents , inspections are
always a must before performing any work in a unknow
tower.
