Randy That's water freezing inside the leg and splitting the leg.
I bet the drain holes in the bottom are plugged and not letting water drain I would avoid this tower. I surely wouldn't climb it. And I will call you tomorrow reference your e-mail Bob Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -----Original Message----- From: Randy Cosby <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 27 May 2009 12:30:42 To: <[email protected]> Subject: [WISPA] tower fix possible? http://infowest.us/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=1420 http://infowest.us/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=1418 These pictures are from a small 40' Rohn tower that we are leasing space on. Apparently one of the legs has some sort of stress fracture developing, or there was something wrong with the metal here and it blew out. My first thought was that we had a bullet hole, but there is no hole in the other side. I haven't been on site personally. In any case, we don't want to climb it, and the owner is out of the lower-48 for a few months. Any recommendations for fixing / reinforcing this (other than the obvious - replacing the tower / section)? -- Randy Cosby Vice President InfoWest, Inc work: 435-773-6071 email: [email protected] http://www.linkedin.com/in/randycosby -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
