It might be interesting to talk to one of those foundation repair companies.
Mudjacking, and the like are expensive, but it does work.

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Help with fixing a leaning tower (NOT Pisa)
Would it be feasible to engineer new 'dog ears' to attach to the present
dog ears using the holes vacated by the tower bolts? The tower then would
bolt to the new dog ears with new bolt holes etc.
I realize this may only be a time buying scenario if the ground continues
to sink or shift.
If it does buy time, then it may be possible to dig out around and down
deeper on the side the tower appears to be headed and pour another big chunk
of concrete to stop movement in that direction....just things I would
think
about anyway.
Good luck es 73!
