  • Selection of Communication Tower Foundation Type

    Selection of Communication Tower Foundation Type

    Two of the most common options are helical piles and concrete drilled shafts. Here are six foundation types for communication towers that work for a wide range of situations and environments. Towers are not rooted by only pouring concrete—they require extensive soil analysis, wind loads, types of towers, and seismic activity to determine the necessary. The selection of communication tower foundation is closely related to the superstructure form, structural layout, external load category, construction site and geological conditions of the area. Due to wind loading, lattice tower foundations can.
