With good installation practices (shielded ethernet cable, proper grounding, quality radio gear with EMI shielding, etc.) you will not likely have a problem with a 1 kW station. However, by building a large steel structure of your own so close to the AM transmitter, you'll be affecting their radiation pattern. You should get in touch with the station engineer prior to construction so that they can prepare. The AM station's pattern has to be approved by the FCC, and any large nearby metal structures will become parasitic antennas and affect the radiation pattern.
