This also can allow an existing tower owner to profit from the rental of space on the structure, provided the structure can withstand the additional load. We provide a technical report stating results of the analysis and any modifications that may be required provided that modifications are practical. This analysis is stamped by a registered P.E. for the applicable state. If drawings and structural data are available, and are current, they should be used for the analysis. Both present and planned loading must be known.
Many times there are three sets of tower data.
If we are also providing path surveys and transmission engineering for the system, and have personnel on site, this task becomes very cost effective. Also, once analyzed by TCS Consultants, Inc. , a re-analysis cost a fraction of a new analysis. In the cases where there is no data available including the strength of the steel, sometimes not even the manufacturer is known, we then must gather all of the structural data for the tower. This is accomplished by sending two of our field personnel to the tower site. Over time all structures will fail without proper maintenance.
