[TowerTalk] FW: FW: Re-orienting a crank-up tower

[Matt]

Kelly,

 

I probably should have explained that my thoughts better for implementing
#3.  I was thinking to either (1) fabricate an adapter that would bolt to
your existing embedded tabs or (2) fabricate an adapter that uses anchor
bolts.  The later would require you to  cut your embedded tabs off flush,
core drill for new anchor bolts and set them in appropriate concrete epoxy.
There were some posts here recently about how to do that on an existing
foundation.

This is a bit different.  The Tashjian towers use a base that is cemented
into the foundation, unlike US Towers where the base is simply bolted onto
the top of the foundation after having cemented the bolts into the
foundation.  It would be much easier to do what I want to do with US Towers,
I think.

Don't know if this will help but I essentially did #3 on a couple of Triex
towers.  There are some updated pictures on my website - look about half way
down the page...

Good luck.
