Broadcast Towers and Specialty Structures
Will your tower survive a crisis? An ERI tower will.
Other towers are designed to meet minimum design requirements such as the maximum anticipated wind speed and other typical loading requirements.But, when faced with a crisis, will your tower survive the unexpected?
The loss or slippage of a guy wire during construction or maintenance is unexpected and often not considered in a tower design. Intense, localized gin pole forces during tower erection or antenna changes are generally ignored.The detrimental effect of radial ice accumulation in conjunction with high wind speed is the most prevalent yet unexpected cause of tower failures.
ERI tower designs consider these unusual loading conditions.We expect the unexpected and our structures will survive a crisis.
ERI towers are also designed considering not only the structural needs of your antenna, but also the electrical. Knowing how the tower will distort the antenna’s broadcast characteristics is vitally important in defining your market area.The ability to determine the effects of this interaction and modify the tower’s design accordingly is the advantage you will gain only with ERI.
Imagine a tower engineered and fabricated with the same quality of workmanship you have come to expect from ERI. Our projects range from a 100kW AM tower in Africa's Western Sahara to the top of the Empire State Building.
