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. Thanks again, Daniel White 3-dB Networks -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2008 8:27 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: 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.

I'm really not interested in pouring the foundation, does anyone know what it would cost to have a local concrete company pour it (rough estimate. I know its going to vary). Anyone know what a rough guess would be to have a tower company build the tower? Thanks in advance!
