[TowerTalk] Tower Legs in Concrete

[Eddy Swynar]

Hi Mike,

The DELHI-brand self-supporting tower instructions here do not specifically reference the necessity of coating the in-cement leg extensions with ANYTHING...

They DO, however, explicitly state that you must install long bolts through holes in the extensions at the bottom, to ensure that the things won't somehow extricate themselves from the concrete.

I see that there has been a TT discussion of whether to coat the legs of the buried section where they exit the concrete on top with some sort of coating. One poster stated that Rohn recommended this but I cannot find any reference to it. Can anyone clarify if this is necessary and if so, how should the legs be coated at the exit point? As always, thank you one and all for your generosity in sharing your knowledge.                                       Mike  W2LO
