I'm not sure I understand the thread however, NEVER EVER, ground anything
into the concrete base !!!!!!! NEVER use any ground rods in concrete !!!!
If you would get a lightening strike, the current would carry into the
concrete
and boil off the water. When this happens the concrete will explode !!!
If you must ground a tower base I use 4 rods spaced about 4 ft from the
base, Cad weld
the wire onto the rod and make a physical connection to the tower on all
legs. Bond
the wire with at least 2 clamps onto the tower base using a conductive paste
. Years ago I would pour Copper Sulfate
around the tower to aid in the ground conductivity. As a point check the
tightness of the
clamps every few months
it's not the best but who can afford the grounding system that works
