Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Failed HDX572 Raising fixture Leg and base
Likely you actually broke the tab long, long ago. It was only hanging by a
thread, and that gave the separated parts time to rust. This recent lowering
was what finally did it in. Definitely call UST tomorrow and see what you can
do; Any company worth their salt should stand behind that since it is clearly
poor welding.

## Obviously this was a fubar welding job. Question is, why didn’t UST X ray
the welds for the base ? Ok, I can see not X raying every weld on each tower
section, but at least do the critical welds, like the base,
and where the plates are for the pulleys.
## UST should make good on this, since they like to brag about their welding
process and expertise and certified welders and QC etc.
