How to avoid frost cracks and their consequences?
Read more: How to avoid frost cracks and their consequences?AluPro masts offer a lifetime warranty against frost cracking, a problem that often leads to the need for mast replacement. A special drainage system and markings on the masts minimize the risk of damage, and if necessary, the manufacturer covers the costs of replacing damaged segments. AluPro ensures not only durability, but also safe installation.
Stainless steel – What grades?
Read more: Stainless steel – What grades?Some of our structures receive stainless steel accessories for an additional fee. Have you wondered what this means in practice? Well, commercially we distinguish two "levels" of rustproofness. Here's how it should be understood (we quote from marmech.eu) Stainless steel - this is a common term for a group of corrosion-resistant steels, in a little more detail we can divide them into corrosion-resistant steels...
Bolt Classes – how to understand them and why are they important?
Read more: Bolt Classes – how to understand them and why are they important?In the mast industry, the standard are flange connections depending on the class of bolts, which determine their tensile strength and ductility. The classification of screws, described with two-digit symbols, informs about their maximum load in relation to the cross-section.
Reactions to building structure – what should I know?
Read more: Reactions to the building structure – what should I know?Customers often wonder why the mast mount is more expensive than the mast itself. The values of the pulling and driving forces in the roof quoted in the static calculations show how important proper anchoring is, which often requires serious construction works and specialized solutions, individually tailored to each building.
How to install antennas on a mast safely for the structure?
Read more: How to install antennas on a mast safely for the structure?A telecommunications mast, like any truss, has nodal points that are its strongest places. It is worth applying all forces around the nodes, as this minimizes the risk of damage to the whole. This is important when installing additional guy ropes, attaching ropes when erecting the mast using the rotary technique, or even when selecting anchor points for antenna booms. A nodal point is a place…
How does the aluminum welding technique affect the weld strength?
Read more: How does the aluminum welding technique affect the weld strength?The quality of the weld is crucial for the safety of the product. At Alupro, we weld exclusively using the TIG technique on the best Fronius and Kemppi machines. TIG welding is quite slow, but it guarantees deep penetration and high control over the quality of the weld. This is a method that allows you to obtain very clean and aesthetic welds, which is especially important in the production of elements that require…
