Depending on the soil, you may get away without even needing guys. This being the case, I'd guess you'll pay between $400 and $600 for the concrete. A lot of this depends on the engineering related to the soil composition. I'm not a tower engineer, but my guess is that you will need at least 4X4X4 without guys unless the soil is wet or sandy, in which case, you may need to build guy points (which may or may not require concrete). I guess what I'm saying is, you should contact an engineer to help with the engineering of the structure. The last tower I had built cost about $500 for the concrete truck. Anyone know what a rough guess would be to have a tower company build the tower? Dunno...where do you live (or better, yet, where will the tower live)? -- *Butch Evans*Professional Network Consultation * *Network Engineering*MikroTik RouterOS * *573-276-2879 *ImageStream * *http://www.butchevans.com/ *StarOS and MORE * *http://blog.butchevans.com/*Wired or wireless Networks* *http://www.wisp-forums.com/*http://www.wisp-wiki.com/ *Mikrotik Certified Consultant *Professional Technical Trainer* WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Trylon Titan Foundation Work
Easy project Foundation for a 40 Trylon is probably something like 6 x 6 x 4'. Any concrete contractor should be able to do this real cheap. 6 yards of crete at $90 or so a yard. Rent a mini excavator for about $200. Rebar the hole another couple of hundred. Install the base, make sure its level, pour the crete, float and wait. Build the tower on the ground and lift it in place with a boom truck. Boom truck for a couple of hours should be less than $500. Do it yourself for $1600 or less. Have contractors do it for around $2500-3000 or so. I don't know what your antenna loading is but a 60' telephone pole with climbing steps is a lot cheaper. Like $2K.

Re: [WISPA] Trylon Titan Foundation Work
Around here it takes a geotechnical soils report ($600-1200) Wet stamped foundation drawing showing a foundation design for this area, wind load and siesmic conditions ($800-$1200) Then paying for the building permit showing the licensed general contractor's license number. We can have more into the above than the actual cost of concrete. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2008 8:26 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Trylon Titan Foundation Work Easy project Foundation for a 40 Trylon is probably something like 6 x 6 x 4'.

Re: [WISPA] Trylon Titan Foundation Work
Having done two of these, I can say that doing the foundation yourself isn't all that bad. Dig the appropriate size hole, including undercuts, build a rebar cage which matches the print, throw it in the hole, then suspend the bottom section with legs over the hole, and pour. If you want to see pictures of one of these, I can provide them. -forrest 3-dB Networks wrote: I am working on a project that is going to involve installing a Trylon Titan 40' tower.

Re: [WISPA] Trylon Titan Foundation Work
Thanks for the answers guys. Oddly enough Mesa never needed to build any towers... the sites where there where we wanted them! The tower is going to be in Colorado Springs, CO... I contacted a local tower company (EasTex Tower Inc) to see what they say. I am hoping I can get away building this thing without any permitting... I'll figure that out tomorrow :-) I'm not exactly sure what the soil is like, but I'll be doing the site survey tomorrow.
