[TowerTalk] Thinking of putting up an American, or Rohn

[Ralston, William]

Dave asked:

>Do any of you know if the engineering data a City would want is available for either or both of these towers?

>I have to have an Oregon PE review the data for the City here...



It depends on what the city wants.  You should ask them.


In Salt Lake County, all I needed for 100' of Rohn 55 that mostly followed the catalog configuration was a PE cover letter (with "wet stamp") that stated my installation was in conformance with the manufacturer's specifications.  The PE didn't do any analysis.  Set me back about $500 in 2002.

Nobody (the PE or county) wanted to look at the actual structural calculations I had done.
