I'm starting a mast-building project—what do you need to know to help me?
Read more: I'm starting a mast-building project—what do you need to know to help me?The construction of telecommunications towers and masts is a highly specialized field. In Poland, only a dozen or so companies carry out this work independently, while several dozen others operate by subcontracting to the actual manufacturers. Due to the narrow scope of specialization, most designers, architects, and civil engineers do not have extensive experience with this type of project. This post aims to clearly and concisely present…

Assembly for chemical anchors - description of the technique
Read more: Assembly for chemical anchors - description of the technique.Most of our wall-mounted masts are installed using chemical anchors and threaded rods. This is a very convenient and durable method, though it is sensitive to installation errors. The forces acting on the bolts—especially for taller and more heavily loaded masts—can reach values measured in metric tons, so the quality of the mounting is crucial. General note: if you are not a professional installer…

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.

Optimization of the height of masts for a radio link.
Read more: Optimization of the height of masts for the radio link.Designing a radio link network requires ensuring visibility between antennas and the presence of an unobstructed Fresnel zone. Altitude maps, drones and meteorological balloons are used for field verification. The price of the service is PLN 3,200 net per day.

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.

Anti-fall system – what is it and how does it work?
Read more: Anti-fall system – what is it and how does it work?Working on towers and masts can be dangerous. Manufacturers’ recommendations are clear: work at heights should not be performed when wind speeds exceed 5 m/s. Safety harnesses or mountaineering harnesses are helpful in everyday work—they significantly increase safety, albeit at the expense of comfort. Changing position on a mast is particularly cumbersome: every step requires repositioning the lanyard, which in practice leads even experienced…

I'm putting the mast/tower on the ground - how should I foundation it?
Read more: I'm putting a mast/tower on the ground - how should I foundation it?The general rule is that a foundation should not extend below the groundwater level. If the groundwater table is shallow, the most common solution is a foundation slab weighted down with earth fill or shallowly buried precast elements (so-called “mushrooms” from the F series, e.g., those manufactured by Elbud Gdańsk). Cast-in-place slabs are also used in mountainous areas, where just below the ground surface there are…

How to remove lightning from a mast safely? Basic knowledge.
Read more: How to remove lightning from a mast safely? Basic knowledge.W przypadku odgromienia masztów telekomunikacyjnych należy wziąć pod uwagę trzy główne zagadnienia. Ładunek elektryczny najlepiej i najtaniej – naszym zdaniem – odprowadzić przez samą konstrukcję masztu lub wieży kratownicowej. Produkty AluPro wyposażone są w specjalne ucho w najniższym segmencie, które umożliwia przyłączenie całości do instalacji odgromowej budynku. W przypadku konstrukcji malowanych należy pamiętać o usunięciu…

Mast and tower service – what should I know?
Read more: Mast and tower service – what should I know?Radio masts and towers require regular inspection and maintenance to prevent breakdowns and life-threatening incidents. Aluminum masts are resistant to corrosion, but susceptible to frost cracking. The condition of guy ropes and rope tension should be checked, and regular anti-corrosion inspections of steel structures are necessary.

Do I have to report radio wave emissions to any department (e.g. environment)?
Read more: Do I have to report radio wave emissions to some department (e.g. environment)?Pomijając kwestię koncesji na określone pasma częstotliwości, warto zwrócić uwagę na zagadnienie promieniowania elektromagnetycznego w kontekście oddziaływania na środowisko. Obowiązujące przepisy dopuszczają emisję mocy do 15 W na antenie bez konieczności zgłaszania tego faktu Wydziałowi Ochrony Środowiska – w takim przypadku instalacja nie jest traktowana jako inwestycja znacząco oddziałująca na środowisko.
