[TowerTalk] PE services

[Jim Bruce]

I don't think that the manufacturer's PE does the book, someone else does
it. Ever heard of ttyyppoo''ss?? I guess it seems expensive but it may only
be a drop in the bucket considering legal fees, lawsuit judgements,
insurance (or lack of) payments to injured/damaged property owners, and the
cost of the towrer and installation/dismantlement if one is forced to take
it down.
On another idea how many losses were incured by not having a decent install
(above comments) or lack of preventive maint. during the west coast storms
and the Nor'easters (winter hurricanes) here on the east coast?
