Hi hi,

I’m putting up my first tower, a 40’ free-standing Rohn 45G (45SR040). I had my 
landscapers' help in getting the short base buried and cemented in, and 
unfortunately we’ve ended up crooked. I bolted the first section on top of the 
base and we’re about an inch out from top to bottom of the first segment.

What are my options for fixing this? I’m aware that Rohn doesn’t like drilling 
the bolt holes, even to get out the excess galvanizing, so I don’t imagine 
hogging out some holes would be the right way. In the archives I saw passing 
mention of bending the tops of a short base, but I wasn’t sure of the context 
so I don’t know if that’s the right approach.

I’m hoping we don’t have to jackhammer the base out and re-pour, so I’d be 
grateful for any other recommendations. Thanks!
