Check out information about the "Ufer Ground" system. You tie the rebar cage
into a ground system.

Subject: [TowerTalk] tower grounding
First I want to thank all of you for the info so freely dispersed on this
reflector. I've learned a lot in just the month I've been getting the
discussions.
Now then, I just today made a deal for my very first tower. It seems to be a
bit over a Rohn 25 size but not quite a Rohn 30. It's about 60 feet in
length and will be bolted to the house and set in a rebar and concrete cage
footing.
My questions are these, is it possible to use the rebar cage as a part of
the grounding system for this tower? And, if so, what is the best manner of
making that grounding connection?
Thanks up front for your consideration and responses.
