All About Telecommunication Towers

By Kapil Ochani


Telecommunication towers have helped pace up the process of development. It is interesting to know how these towers are set up.

The telecommunication towers are very important for the developmental process. These tall telecommunication towers are used in a number of fields including internet, mobile, television, and radio to transmit navigation signals and keep the communication process rolling. Some of the types of telecommunication towers include the power transmission, flood light towers, MW and the TV towers. Most of the companies manufacture these towers for on ground as well as on building mountings.

Still other telecommunication towers are meant for the rooftop mountings which are also called RFTs. One can also come across the triangular towers suitable for ground base application or GBT, square towers, tubular towers and the angular towers. The companies that deal in setting up of these towers dive deep into details so as to get their facts right and to know about each and every aspect of the business. They design the towers just as per the given instructions by the clients and make these towers tailor made to the minutest details. Some of the aspects that are mainly paid attention to include, the height of the tower, the antenna loading, the space available, wind speed application as well as the twist and sway required among other details.

Before setting up these tall towering units, one needs to do a thorough research of the place including that of the soil on the ground. The soil investigations are perhaps the most required for the setting up of telecommunication towers. It is of utmost importance to be sure about the very foundation of the towers which one can easily decipher by the soil type of the site. The companies that deal in installation of these telecommunication towers conduct studies and several rounds of research to know the soil strength, the height of the tower which the soil can allow, the water table and its conditions, as also the desired properties and characteristics of soil required for a safe and strong foundation of the towers. Thereafter, the design of the telecommunication towers is formed depending upon the soil conditions. This also involves drilling boreholes at the site. These samples of the soil are later analyzed in the laboratories depending upon which the final soil report is made.

This soil report helps design the foundation of the tower. Thereafter, experts design the ideal foundation for the telecommunication tower which the soil can allow. This design then goes under the scanner by the concerned authorities which after scrutiny give a go ahead.

Only after the design is passed, the companies start constructing the towers. An ideal concrete mixture is formed to build the telecommunication tower. These towers form the basis of the communication process that takes place within the nation and even across borders.
