[TowerTalk] How to drill foundation?

[Robert Gerace]

I just received my engineered plans and learned of the foundation requirements. 

The plans state:

“48” x 12’4” (If circular) below grade and 4” to 6” above grade. Order a complete truck to avoid shortage”

I’m thinking my idea to rent a mini-ex and dig my own hole just went out the window. 

To avoid using two trucks I’m thinking I want to use a 4 foot wide auger that can go down 12’4”. I’m also thinking I want to hire someone to get it perpendicular. 

My question is: how do I find / hire the cell tower footing guys? Or does the group have any better ideas?

Also, I’m in FL near the coast. I’m pretty sure I’m going to have a lot of water in the pit. 

Thanks
