[TowerTalk] Rohn-25G Removal

[Dennis Severns]

If I were anywhere near Georgia I would come and take it down for you! But I am in Colorado. I  will recommend that you use some sort of temporary guy system such as a strong rope anchored to something in the direction opposite of the power lines to keep the tower from swaying as you are removing sections. And use another rope (and someone to handle it) as a tag line to control the sections as they are being lowered. So it is best to have at least 3 people working on this unless you can find a good rigger who can do it all for you. I am assuming that you have access to a gin pole. Just keep every thing under control and you should have no problems.

Call me if you need any help

I have located a Rohn 25 tower, which is about 50 feet tall. The tower
is mounted about 10' or so away from some high voltage power lines. The
tower is not guyed. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting the
tower down on the ground safely?
 
Thanks in advance,
