Re: [WISPA] tower erection question
Wasn't it Rick Kunse (not sure spelling of last name the guy with the speed boat? I just did the base for a 120ft tower. Concrete, rebar, dirt work ran $8200 could gotten it a little cheaper but that guy was taking way to long on a different job so went with another company that cost a bit more but got it done fast and did a great job. That was for 10 cu feet of concrete. In a single pour into one single hole. For a 200ft either you have a giant slab or three piers. /Eje Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile -Original Message- From: "Tom DeReggi" Date: Sun, 14 Dec 2008 23:35:00 To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] tower erection question Note, At WISPCON II, I think it was Jeremy, that did a session about his experience installing a 200ft self standing tower, that he got put up for $25k, all costs included.

Re: [WISPA] tower erection question
It looks like we are saying the same thing, just differently...I said foundation and tower construction would be roughly $17-20k. My guestimate was for a turn-key, you provide the tower sections and when it is complete, your antennas are in the air. I re-read his email and it was only for tower construction, earthwork, and steel, not for the remainder services (though they are required for a 300' tower).
