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 failures and life-threatening situations. Aluminum masts are corrosion-resistant but susceptible to frost cracking. The condition of guy wires and rope tension should be checked, and regular anti-corrosion inspections of steel structures are necessary.

How to properly arrange mast lashings?
Read more: How to properly arrange the mast lashings?The general rule is that guy wires should be arranged symmetrically—in three-cord masts, every 120° in the horizontal plane. As for the distance of the anchor point from the mast axis in the horizontal plane, it is assumed that it cannot be less than half the height of the mast. For example, for a 50-meter mast, the anchor point for the guy wires should be no closer than 25…

Foldable or welded tower?
Read more: Foldable or welded tower?Large telecommunications towers pose logistical challenges during delivery—their lower segments are spatial structures with cross-sections up to several meters wide. Most towers available on the market are hybrid solutions: the lower segments are assembled on site from individual pipes, while the upper segments are factory-welded. This approach minimizes the volume of cargo during transport, but increases the total cost…
