The Wind Tower
Will the Tower Withstand Hurricane Winds?
One of Tower Solutions three-year-old devices had been licensed to a company and was stationed in Texas. During this time of operation, a hurricane was scheduled to hit Texas and would be affecting the region where the tower stood. Tower Solutions was contacted about whether the tower should be taken down and deconstructed for safety purposes. Tower Solutions gave the clearance to keep the tower standing as they were confident that their product would uphold its structural integrity under extreme variable conditions.
After the Wind Settled
Despite the force of the hurricane-level winds, the tower was able to survive and stay standing. With no hydraulics or pneumatic components, the tower was able to be used immediately with no downtime or maintenance required. Engineers who handled this high wind scenario stated that the equipment was easily able to function during wind speeds of sixty miles per hour with no issues. Much of the tower’s stability comes from its base which has a deployed footprint ranging from 20’ x 20’ to 40’ x 40’. In addition, guy-wire kits are available which increase side wind ratings substantially.
Why Tower Solutions?
In accordance with Tower Solution’s design specifications, towers must be able to withstand and survive headwinds of up to ninety miles per hour, while maintaining functionality and the ability to operate with signal under wind speeds that reach sixty miles per hour. Their use of an aluminum body resists corrosive elements while also providing strength to carry payloads up to 2000 lbs. There are a variety of customizable towers, each with its own distinct features, that are all equipped to handle any type of terrain or surface. All of the tower’s components are well guarded against the elements, and shelter units are available to house equipment and controls.
The Benefits
Tower Solution’s patented gear technology creates a sturdy yet rigid selfassembling tower structure that is able to reach up to 80 feet in 5 minutes with the push of one button. Tower Solutions provides an easy-to-use tower that is both mobile and structurally sound, with enhanced support through the use of heavy-duty leveling jacks and wide outriggers. It is able to withstand high levels of wind while maintaining its functionality and requires a low rate of maintenance.
